A Texas car dealership became the unexpected stage for a fatal gun battle during the pursuit of a fugitive.

Bounty hunting seems like a very dangerous occupation.  In some states, bounty hunters are not allowed to use guns.  Texas is not one of those states.

Drugs

The man they were attempting to capture was wanted for failure to appear on a first-degree drug charge from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office in Minneapolis. A first-degree drug charge means:

Anyone caught possessing more than 200 but less than 400 grams of a substance illegally is charged with a 1st-degree felony.

So, to break it down to the simplest of concepts, all three of these men died because the suspect had between 200 and 400 grams of an illegal substance on him, and these two bounty hunters thought that was enough of a crime to risk their lives on.  But doctors can prescribe as many addiction-causing drugs as they want because it's legal. I think we've lost the war on drugs.
