A deputy with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department located the two vehicles involved in the incident in North Webster.  A short time later the deputy was involved in a crash at the intersection of Main Street and Huntington Street with the pickup truck and driver that was suspected of shooting at the other driver.  The force of the crash sent the suspects truck into a brick building on the corner.

As the deputy approached the truck and driver, the encounter led the officer to discharge his weapon at the individual.  The facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting are being investigated.

The driver of the truck was treated at the scene for a gunshot wound and injuries received in the crash.  He was taken to Parkview Hospital in Ft. Wayne for treatment.  The extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.  The deputy is being treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital for injuries he received in the crash.  The condition of the other driver is unknown at this time.
