"The Adams County Sheriff's Office said that although a suspect had been taken into custody Wednesday evening, a manhunt was still underway*for either two light-skinned black males or two dark-skinned Hispanic males dressed in all-black clothing, both wanted in connection with this deadly shooting."

 

[margarita25]

"Assault in progress leads to deadly shooting

The sheriff's office was responding to an assault in progress at around 7 p.m. when one of the deputies spotted a man matching the description for one of the suspects. The suspect then ran from deputies, leading them behind a house in that area. When deputies caught up to the man, the suspect pulled out a handgun and started firing at deputies, striking one of them in the chest. The suspect took off but was later found and taken into custody, according to a sheriff's office spokeswoman, who relayed the information during a late Wednesday evening press briefing."
