How they died
Suicide
Robert Tackett reportedly took his own life after exchanging fire with police. At around 12:30 p.m., captain John Trimble and officer Jerrod Jarvis were returning from a training in Carthage when they were waved down by a pedestrian. Tackett had allegedly entered Barb's One Stop with a shotgun and robbed the store. The store's owner and a customer chased Tackett in separate cars until he ran off the road. Newton County sheriff's deputies and officers from Neosho and Diamond followed Tackett on foot to a farm outbuilding, where they said he shot himself.
