This happened pretty close to home http://www.postindependent.com/news/15439774-113/wildlife-officer-wasnt-going-to-die-without-a-fight
This happened in one of the most desolate parts of the country and could have happened to anyone who crossed paths with these two IMO.
I don't want this to get locked down for cop bashing, it's not uncommon as a land owner, hunter, hiker, or cop to come upon vehicles parked or abandon and while the article isn't very specific it kind of appears that the Game Warden was doing a welfare check on the occupants of the SUV and the Deputy was in the area and came as back-up, take this situation and switch out the GW for your wife, girlfriend, kid or anyone of significance and you have a real bad situation.
There are some situations in which it's hard to see a good outcome, these guys were lucky.
