Sergeant Edward Marpool responded to a citizen complaint of two men with guns. Upon seeng two suspicious men near an alley, Sergeant Marpool approached to investigate. One of the men suddenly drew a revolver and fired, killing Sergeant Marpool.
Over 300 officers cordoned off a section of the city while searching for the suspects. The suspect subsequently was engaged in four different shootouts with officers; he was eventually shot and killed.
