One of the tribal police officers who was wounded in a shootout on the Walker River Paiute Reservation in Nevada underwent an operation and is doing OK, a family friend said.

Robert Holbrook, 31, was shot in the foot. The tribal police chief Joe McMinn was also wounded in the shootout.

The incident occurred when Holbrook, McMinn and at least one Drug Enforcement Agency officer attempted to serve a warrant on a father and his son. The father reportedly began shooting at the officers. Both were injured.
