Preliminary information indicates on September 3, 2025, at about 2:30 am, a HCSO deputy saw a car that was reported stolen the previous date and had been involved in a vehicle pursuit.

Additional deputies responded to the area to assist with searching for the suspects. During the search, a deputy encountered a man believed to be one of the suspects. At this time, the man shot at a deputy. Multiple deputies returned fire, hitting the man. The man was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
