A campground owner facing drug and weapon charges was killed by an FBI agent after a four-day standoff, authorities said.
Grover T. Crosslin, 47, was shot when he walked out of a building on the Vandalia property with a rifle and pointed it at the agent, Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood Jr. said.
Crosslin became agitated after authorities brought a phone to him in an attempt to begin negotiations, Underwood said. Crosslin asked to speak with a third party, and when authorities denied the request, he began making threatening remarks.
Crosslin then left the building with another man and began walking around outside with his weapon.
