U.S. Marshal Kenneth Muir and U.S. Deputy Marshal Robert Cheshire died in a shootout with tax protesters Gordon Kahl and wife Joan Kahl, their son Yori Von Kahl, and friends David Broer and Scott Faul. Two other law enforcement officers and Yori Kahl were injured.

Gordon Kahl vanished. Authorities caught up with him in June 1984 near Smithville, Arkansas. When Kahl was located inside a residence, he and Sheriff Harold Matthews of the Lawrence County, Arkansas, Sheriff's Department, shot each other almost simultaneously. Kahl died instantly, and Sheriff Matthews later died on a hospital operating table.

Joan Kahl was acquitted. Broer was released from prison on 24 Aug 1989. Yori Kahl and Faul are serving life sentences in Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities.
