Overview 
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a news release Thursday that 35-year-old Darwin Barnett Foy, of Fort Dodge, was killed by troopers Monday afternoon in Webster City as he held a woman hostage.
The three Iowa State Troopers involved were Sgt. James Smith and Troopers Tyrel Williamson and Jeremy Schaffer. The Iowa Public Safety Department says Foy was shot hours after officers responded to a woman's 911 call.
Officials say Foy had threatened to shoot the woman when the troopers went into the home and shot him.
Three law enforcement agencies responded to a 911 call from the home at 3:28 p.m., where a woman inside reported that a man fired shots at her and was holding her hostage.
The tactical team stormed the residence after they say Foy told crisis negotiators he would shoot the woman within a certain period of time, shooting the instigator during the course of the raid.
