A Sebastian County, Arkansas Sheriff's deputy has died after he and a police chief were shot and wounded Wednesday morning.
Deputy Bill Cooper and Hackett Police Chief Darrell Spells responded to a family disturbance around 7:15 a.m. near the intersection of Highway 253 and Boone Road when the shooting occured, according to KFSM-TV.
Both law enforcement officers were taken to Sparks Hospital in Fort Smith where Cooper was taken off life support Wednesday afternoon and was pronounced dead at 1:15 p.m.
Spells was reportedly grazed by a bullet to his head and was treated and released shortly after 10:30 a.m.
After a manhunt that lasted for about an hour, the suspect -- identified as Billy Monroe Jones -- was found barricaded inside a home on 4722 Highway 253 before officers were able to talk him into coming out of the home peacefully with his hands up.
He has since been booked into the Crawford County Jail. Officials said that Jones had negative feelings toward law enforcement officers.
