“During the arrest, Curtis opened fire on task force members and during the exchange of gunfire, two Deputy U.S. Marshals were wounded,” Holden said in a statement. “Both deputies are in stable condition and sustained non-life threatening injuries.”

According to the statement, Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
