A Sheriff’s deputy has been fatally shot at a mobile home park in Ohio.

The deputy from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office was shot and killed on Sunday morning after he followed up on a report of a break-in and a shooting at the park.

Sheriff Deb Burchett told the press on Sunday that Matthew Yates, a 15-year-veteran of the department, was killed, Cleveland.com reported.

Ms Burchett said police responded to Harmony Estates Mobile Home Park after getting a 911 call at about 10.51am. She added that multiple shots were fired upon the arrivals of the deputies, and they entered the residence to investigate, Ms Burchett added.

They faced additional gunfire when they entered the home. Mr Yates was wounded and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton where he died of his injuries.

“Please keep the Yates family in your thoughts and prayers, and the sheriff’s office in your thoughts and prayers”, Ms Burchett said.

Police couldn’t reach Mr Yates for hours after he was shot, according to the Dayton Daily News, After police got him out, the mobile home caught fire.

While police released no further details, family members of the man living in the home told the paper that he was experiencing mental health problems and that a relative had visited him on Sunday. Family members told the Dayton Daily News that the man shot the relative and then began firing at officers.

The family members said the man and his female relative both died in the shooting. Barry Espy, a resident of Clark County, told the publication that his great nephew Cole Matthew White was behind the shooting and thought to be dead. Mr Espy’s niece Jody Arbuckle is also thought to have died in the home.

The shooting led to a large number of officers being called in, including tactical teams to get Mr Yates out after he was shot in the residence. The officers stormed the trailer to get the deputy out.

Law enforcement hasn’t confirmed the statements made by Mr Espy. Two body bags were seen outside the residence around 6pm on Sunday.

Mr Yates was put in an armoured vehicle at about 2.30pm. He was treated by medics before being taken to hospital.

James Myers told the paper he was Mr White’s brother, and he confirmed Mr Espy’s version of events.

Ms Arbuckle entered the home on Sunday morning. She was on the phone with her wife at the time. The wife heard the man say “I’m sorry” just before she heard the sound of gunfire, Mr Espy told the paper, adding that he doesn’t believe that anyone else was present at that time.

“He lost his mind or something, snapped, I don’t know what happened”, Mr Espy said.

Mr White had been living alone at the home for several years after inheriting the residence following the death of his grandmother. Mr Espy said he had been distancing himself from his family for unknown reasons.

Mr Myers said his brother had mental health problems and that “the world only knows him in the last four hours, and this was not that man”.

“He was a great person, very loving and caring”, he added.

Neighbours reported that multiple shots were fired from the home at 12.30pm with another five shots being fired at around 1.15pm while police were engaged in a standoff.

“We just had a lot of cops coming in and we’ve heard a lot of gunfire. SWAT teams are everywhere”, resident Peggy Dennin said.

STORY: Two barriers demarcate the U.S.-Mexico border here between San Diego and Tijuana.Meant to deter illegal border-crossings, aspiring migrants have tried to scale these walls.Some slip, and do not survive. Those who do may suffer severe injuries, and frequently wind up here: San Diego's Scripps Mercy Hospital.Dr. Vishal Bansal is the chief of trauma surgery, and he's seeing more and more of these patients."So we've seen a massive uptick in the number of patients from the end of 2021 up until now. It's been a constant stream. It's getting more and more. We trade border call with UCSD. So on the odd months, we take the border patients, on the even months UCSD takes border patients. So currently for us, we're definitely seeing an uptick compared to April. But if you look at the last year and a half, the slope has gone straight up in the air.""This mass migration issue is this group of people coming over here, they're not told how bad it can really be.Brent Schwerdtfeger is the chief of operations for the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol's San Diego sector.He told Reuters the migrant deaths are due to more than just a border wall."It's not just coming off of a piece of infrastructure. It's coming across the harsh terrain. They could fall anywhere in the mountainous terrains that we have across the southwest borders as well. Plus, we have the, you know, we have a lot of water issues where the rivers, they have cross the rivers. Those are always traumatic that we have there. So they have to come across that as well. So it's not just a piece of infrastructure that could cause not only a bad injury, but, you know, a fatality as well."From the highways of San Antonio, Texas, where 53 migrants died last month after being packed into a sweltering tractor-trailer, to the unrelenting heat of the desert in Arizona, and the wall that former President Donald Trump touted as “just about unclimbable,” there have been more than 1,000 fatalities on the border since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.Last year was the deadliest for migrants crossing the border, with 728 fatalities recorded by the United Nations.The U.N. has counted 340 more this year, tracking 2021’s grim record.A record number of crossings, more than 1.7 million so far this fiscal year through June, have been fueled in part by an expulsion policy put in place by Trump, a Republican, that Biden, a Democrat, has been unable to end.That policy allows border agents to quickly expel migrants across the border.As a result, many simply cross again and again, often making increasingly risky choices to avoid detection.The Arizona desert is a particularly deadly option. Many migrants are overcome by heat and dehydration, and, if they're lucky, are able to dial 9-1-1.Jesus Vasavilbaso is a U.S. Border Patrol agent with the Tucson sector.“The calls that we have received this year for fiscal year they’re up more than 25 percent compared to last year at the same time. We are receiving approximately 16 calls a day, every single day 911 calls.”Data from Humane Borders show that last year, 225 deceased migrants were found along Arizona's border with Mexico, the most since the earliest record kept in 1981.
