An officer-involved shooting in Taney County this morning left a deputy and one suspect with non-life threatening injuries and another suspect dead.
At about 2 this morning, the Highway Patrol and the Taney County Sheriff's Department went to a residence southwest of Hollister where they located a vehicle that was suspected as being involved in a pursuit with the Branson Police Department Thursday. According to the Branson Police Department, officers made contact with a male and a female subject at the front door of the residence and attempted to question them. The man failed to obey officer’s commands, displayed a gun and began firing at the officers, leading to an exchange of gunfire. The male subject, identified as 46-year-old Thomas P. Mone III of Galena, died at the scene. The female subject and a Taney County deputy sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to nearby hospitals.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control continues to investigate the incident.
