How they died
Suicide
Roscoe Tallant reportedly killed himself after firing on deputies and wounding one of them. A deputy had arrived to serve a restraining order to Tallant's roommate. Tallant allegedly got a shotgun out of a other, pointed it at the deputy and threatened to kill him. The deputy took cover and called for backup. A second deputy arrived and Tallant reportedly shot out the officer's window, wounding him in the arm and forehead. Tallant then fled and shot himself when he ran into a Joplin police officer 50 yards away, according to police.
