At the request of 10th Judicial District Attorney General Shari Tayloe, TBI special agents continue to investigate the circumstances of a fatal officer-involved shooting last night in Polk County.

Preliminary information indicates the incident occurred at a home in the 300 block of CC Camp Road in Copperhill. Deputy U.S. Marshals, a U.S. Marshals Task Force officer, 10th Judicial District Drug Task Force agents, and deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department were attempting to serve a probation violation warrant on 40-year-old Matthew Alexander Rich.

After the marshals announced their presence, Rich came to the front door and fired upon the group of law enforcement officers, resulting in three officers returning fire, striking and killing Rich.

No law enforcement officers were hurt in the incident.

At this time, this investigation remains active and ongoing.
