MUENSTER, Texas (KXII) - A sexual assault suspect was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Cooke County Thursday morning.
Sheriff Ray Sappington said on Saturday a woman reported she was kidnapped, taken to a remote area of Montague County and raped.
Around 5 a.m. Thursday multiple law enforcement agencies attempted to serve arrest warrants on Larry Leon Wolfenbarger, 58, at a home near Muenster.
Wolfenbarger refused to come out, but when a tactical team went in he came out with a gun and refused officers’ commands.
A member of the tactical team shot him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
No officers were injured.
