A Tennessee sheriff's deputy was shot and airlifted to a hospital Tuesday and a suspect was killed, according to local reports.
Once at the scene, the man ignored commands for deputies to put down his weapon. He then fired on them, Gammons told the station. The deputies returned fire, prompting the man to take cover inside a home. A deputy was shot during the exchange. He was identified by Gammons as Sgt. Kyle Petty, a 15-year veteran of the force. Petty was wearing a bullet-proof vest and was hit in the back and leg. He was flown to a hospital and is expected to survive.More Related News
