HUNTSVILLE, Mo. (KCTV/Gray News) - Some deputy U.S. marshals and other law enforcement officers in Missouri were injured after the deck they were standing on collapsed.

A task force consisting of the Moberly Area SWAT Team, the U.S. Marshals Service and other law enforcement agencies was serving an arrest warrant in July when the two-story deck gave way.

Body camera footage shows members of the task force fall to the ground below as officers rush in to help. Another body camera shows the perspective of one of the officers on the deck when it collapsed.

According to KMIZ-TV, seven members of law enforcement were injured: four deputy U.S. marshals, two North Missouri Drug Task Force members and one Randolph County deputy. None of their injuries are reported to be life-threatening.

Officers were allegedly serving a warrant for failure to register as a sex offender because of noncompliance with the suspect’s terms and conditions of release, CBS News reported. According to CNN, the suspect was not captured then but was taken into custody later that day.
