MSHP investigating deputy-involved shooting after standoff in Pulaski County
PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. (KMIZ)
One person is in custody after a nearly five-hour standoff in Pulaski County Wednesday evening.
According to a post on the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department Facebook page, the department was assisting the Richland Police Department with an assault on North Pine Street.
While deputies were searching the area, the suspect fired multiple rounds at a deputy's vehicle.
Deputies then returned fire, hitting the suspect in the stomach, but the suspect went back into the home, leading to the hours-long standoff.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol's SWAT Team later arrested the suspect, who was flown to a Columbia hospital for treatment.
Pulaski County Sheriff Stacy Ball says no law enforcement officers were injured and MSHP is investigating the incident.
The assault victim was taken to Lake Regional Hospital for a gunshot wound to the arm, according to the sheriff's office.
The Richland Police Department asked residents to avoid the area.
