Once a deputy reached the scene, the man was outside the vehicle with the woman. As the deputy exited his cruiser, the man pointed a gun at the deputy, who opened fire.

The suspect was rushed to the hospital and is expected to survive. Two loaded handguns were recovered from the scene.

According to investigators, the suspect had fired two shots during the incident, with one shot entering the vehicle where the child was. The woman and the child were uninjured in the incident.

The shooting is under investigation.
