An Ohio sheriff’s deputy has been killed and another injured during a standoff with a barricaded suspect at an apartment complex near Cincinnati, following a law enforcement response to what officials said was a “psychiatric call.”

The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) told a Sunday morning press conference that two deputies had been shot in a Feb. 2 standoff at the Royal Oak Apartments in Pierce Township, Fox19 reported, with one officer in the hospital with injuries and the other dead from a gunshot wound.
