A fugitive was killed in a shooting in north Killeen Thursday morning as U.S. Marshals tried to serve an arrest warrant, U.S. Marshals and the Killeen Police Department confirmed.
âOn May 13, 2021, at approximately 10:35 a.m., agents with the United States Marshals Office were serving a federal arrest warrant in the 1900 block of Poage Avenue, when shots were fired. One person is deceased,â according to a Facebook post from the Killeen Police Department.

Employees pushed a burning vehicle out of a local Killeen auto shop Thursday morning, saving the structure from a fiery demise, after sparks flew while a mechanic was working on a vehicle, fire officials told the Herald Thursday.
At 9:49 a.m. the Killeen Fire Department responded to a fire at Hwy. 195 Used Auto Parts in the 12000 block of Texas Highway 195, KFD Battalion Chief Trent Parker said Thursday.
The fire was under control within 20 minutes of the original call, Parker said.
A mechanicâs error Thursday morning sparked the fire, he said.
âIt was a car fire that started from the mechanic doing an improper technique when draining the fuel out,â Parker said. âHe drilled it instead of tapped it. It sparked the gasoline and caught the rest of the car on fire. Luckily, they were able to push the car out of the building before it caught fire.â
