Officials say the deputy is “blessed” to have escaped serious injury after they were shot in the chest while responding to a domestic incident late Wednesday night, Sheriff Grady Judd said.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Deputies Harodis Nunez and Nicole Lyons responded to a call at a home in Davenport’s Tanglewood Preserve neighborhood around 10 p.m.
The suspect, 41-year-old Gabriel Batista, had allegedly gotten into a verbal dispute with the homeowner before deputies arrived.
