TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A manhunt involving a helicopter search and tracking dogs ended when the suspect was shot dead.
The search was underway for most of Thursday, in a rural wooded area off FM 251, near the Huffines community in Cass County.
State troopers and local police swarmed the area near FM-251 and FM-1841, turning motorists away and warning homeowners to stay inside while the search for a man considered armed and dangerous was going on.
“The investigation began I believe around 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, searching for the suspect,” said Cass County Criminal District Attorney Courtney Shelton.
