July 9 (UPI) -- Federal agents in Memphis shot and killed a man while delivering an arrest warrant Wednesday morning.
The agents are there as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force sent by President Donald Trump in September, and it's the second shooting by feds in a week.
According to a spokesperson from the U.S. Marshals Service, agents tried to serve an arrest warrant on a man in a hotel in the city. When he didn't answer the door, they forced their way in and found the man pointing a gun at them. They then shot him dead.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said the agents involved in the shooting were from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
