Fox2 Video: Man Shot, Killed After Shooting St. Charles County Deputies

Fox2 News reported that a suspect who shot two St. Charles sheriff's deputies and was the subject of a manhunt this morning is now dead.

St. Charles County Sheriff Tom Neer said that Richard Heeter, 61, from the Wentzville area, shot at sheriff's deputies in an area near Sommers Road and Hwy. N near the Lake Saint Louis/O'Fallon border.

The deputies returned fire. One deputy was shot in the wrist, and the other was shot in the arm. Heeter escaped and a manhunt of the area continued until he was located just after 5:30 a.m. in the same area as the shootings.

The suspect refused to comply with officers and stabbed a tactical officer in the shoulder. Other officers then shot and killed Heeter.

All three injured officers were taken to hospitals and treated.
