A man was found dead inside his home after he exchanged gunfire with Kingsport Police officers Thursday evening, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Officers responded to a report of a man threatening to harm or himself and one of his neighbors around 2:00 p.m.
Kingsport Police Department spokesman Tom Patton said officers realized there was an outstanding warrant for the man's arrest for failure to appear on a previous charge of aggravated stalking involving a different neighbor.
When officers arrived at the man's home in the 1900 block of Manor Court to serve the warrant, the man barricaded himself inside his condominium, Patton said in a statement.
Patton said officers surrounded the condo, called in a SWAT team and were formulating a plan when the man came out of his home and shots were fired around 4:45 p.m.
The officers and the man exchanged gunfire. Two officers were hit, and the man went back inside the home.
Patton, the Kingsport Police spokesman, said the two officers were taken to the hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. One of the officers was released from the hospital Thursday night, and the other is still hospitalized.
Patton said the SWAT team entered the man's home around 6 p.m., and found the man's body inside. Officials said his cause of death is currently unknown. An autopsy will be conducted.
The TBI identified the man as 58-year-old Hugh Kyle Hurd.
The TBI is investigating the shooting.
