The sheriff's department confirms that deputies responded to a disturbance call at a home at 11712 Highway DD in the northern part of the county around 5:17 p.m.



Officials say the disturbance involved two relatives, Travis Phillip Bullock and Johnny Mallett. The two reportedly got into a fight and then Bullock went into Mallett's home with a knife in what the sheriff's department calls a threatening manner.



Mallett shot Bullock, according to the sheriff's department. Bullock was then taken to the Campbell ambulance shed, according to officials, where he was pronounced dead due to the gunshot wounds by the Dunklin County coroner.
