Deputies Charles Nichols and James McMahan were shot and killed while attempting to arrest a suspect.
When the officers attempted to handcuff the suspect, he produced a handgun and shot both of them.
The suspect was one of two brothers known as the James-Younger Gang who shot and killed Deputy Edwin Daniels, of the St. Clair County, Missouri, Sheriff's Department, on March 17, 1874. The brother who murdered Deputy Nichols and Deputy McMahan was also shot and killed in the shootout.
