A U.S. lawman was killed along with the shooter Tuesday when a wild gunfight erupted as federal marshals tried to serve an arrest warrant at a St. Louis home, authorities said.

Two federal marshals were shot along with a local cop, who was saved by his bullet-proof vest in the gunbattle with a man holed up in the house. Marshal John Perry, 48, later died from his wounds.

"Our people and our partners are well trained and prepared, but it is impossible to predict when a wanted individual will make a fateful choice that results in the loss of life or injury," said Service Director Stacia A. Hylton. "Today, unfortunately, we again feel that pain."

St. Louis police confirmed the suspect, Carlos Boles, was killed in the shootout on the city's south side.

A woman at the scene, where blocks were cordoned off with police tape, said the dead man was her brother.

Stacia Hylton is good at two things:

Taking care of her very good friends in the for-profit prison industry.

Getting her deputies killed doing things that they shouldn't have been sent to in the first place.
