Police Officer Brent Long was shot and killed as he and other officers served a felony warrant at a house at approximately 3:30 pm.
A task force comprised of officers from the United States Marshals Service, Indiana State Police, and Terre Haute Police Department, including Officer Long, knocked on the back door of a house at 1812 North 8th Street to serve a felony warrant. Several people exited the house, but not the wanted suspect.
