Charles Meyn was shot and killed by police after he allegedly fired at officers as they attempted to serve a search warrant at his home. "At approximately 6 a.m.," said Tangipahoa sheriff's office spokeswoman Dawn Panepinto, "the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office Special Response Team executed the warrant and made entry into the residence. Upon doing so, Meyn pointed and fired his weapon at deputies. Deputies returned fire resulting in the suspect's death." The search warrant was reportedly for narcotics, weapons and stolen property.
