Man killed, child injured in shootout

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A man wanted on federal drug charges was killed and a toddler wounded in a shootout with authorities at a small airport, officials said.
State troopers were investigating the Wednesday shootout in Homer, which killed Jason Carlo Jacob Anderson, 31, of Duluth, Minn. Two children were in a rented car with Anderson, also known as Brandon Dietzmann, officials said.
A 2-year-old girl was hospitalized, but her condition was not available, U.S. Marshal Randy Johnson said. A 6-month-old infant was not injured. Their mother lives in Alaska.
Johnson said one deputy marshal was involved in the shooting. He declined to elaborate.
Anderson had been charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana, and with distributing meth, according to a federal warrant.
