Abstract: At approximately 4:18 p.m. on June 19, 2012, Employee #1 and Employee #2, both of whom were Sheriff's Deputies in the Office of the Sheriff, were wounded by gunshots when making a traffic stop. Employee #1 was making the stop when he ran a check on the license plate and found that the owner was wanted for a felony. Employee #1 then asked for assistance. When Employee #2, the second officer, arrived, both Employee #1 and Employee #2 stopped the vehicle. Within seconds of getting out of their vehicles and starting to approach the owner's vehicle, the occupant fired on the officers. Both officers sustained gunshot wounds and were transported and admitted to the hospital with puncture wounds. Both are in stable condition.
