Tyree, alleged to be a leader in the Bloods gang, was shot after emerging from the basement at his home firing at officers with an AK47 at the end of a six-hour standoff. The situation unfolded after US marshals arrived to serve Tyree a warrant for a parole violation. A firefighter responding after Tyree set off a smoke bomb was shot twice by the suspect in the lower body.
