Five people, including two sheriff deputies, died after a 13-hour standoff with a gunman, police said Thursday.

The incident began Wednesday morning when deputies responded to a call to a house and were hit by gunfire.

The Watauga County Sheriff’s office said Sgt. Chris Ward and K-9 Deputy Logan Fox were dispatched to a home at 9:44 a.m. Wednesday after the homeowner and their family did not show up for work or answer calls.

Upon arriving at the scene, both officers were hit with gunfire. Fox died on the scene, and Ward died later at a hospital, according to The Associated Press.

"The individual suspected of killing the two officers is also suspected of killing two civilians in the residence," police said in a statement.

Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman said the civilians were the suspect’s mother and stepfather.

I wonder if the coworkers had reason to believe they were in trouble. Is that SOP to send two cops (one being a K-9) if someone doesn't show up for work?

Will he use the Bob Marley defense in court?

I mean if the whole the family is MIA and they aren't the type to take impromptu vacations there's cause for concern.

Plus the K9 officer may have had a cross trained dog (bite/NDD) or more than one dog. None of our guys had cadaver dog or anything, but maybe he also had a tracker or something.

Several people called the Sheriff's office in the days before the shooting saying the guy was dangerous and had a lot of guns. There were at least 3 officers there. The coworkers worked with the step father, so they may or may not have known as well. I would guess some of them knew.

Is the suspect white or black, I need to know so the media can tell me how to feel.

If white guns are a problem and need to be regulated and controlled by our government.

If black, cops are racist and probably shot first

In all seriousness prayers to the families. Maybe because the media doesnt have Trump to bash but it seems like these stories are increasing.

I’ve got a pretty good guess on the house and therefore the occupants. And they’re white.

To a domestic type of call? Yes usually two or more

The K9 guys are usually free roam and he probably answered up to assist due to other guys being tied up, or he was just additional backup 3rd/4th on scene) as somebody else suggested.

Considering it’s Boone, NC I’m pretty confident it’s a white guy.

Pretty country there. Home of Appalachia State.

Boone is home to a high number of meth-heads and junkies.

Prayers for the slain.
