Rolla man dies after gunfight during custody dispute
ROLLA, Mo. (AP) — Rolla police say a man has died after he and another man exchanged gunfire during a dispute over a custody issue.
Police say 27-year-old Terry Brown died after a confrontation with 27-year-old Devon Johnson at a Rolla home on Monday.
Johnson went to Brown's home to discuss a child custody situation when the two men began arguing.
Police say Brown went into his home to retrieve a weapon and fired several rounds at Johnson.
Police say Johnson got a weapon from his car and returned fire, hitting Brown, who died later at a hospital.
No charges have been filed in the shooting but Johnson is being held on an unrelated outstanding warrant.
