YORK COUNTY, SC (WBTV) -
Three deputies and a police officer were shot while searching for a wanted man in York County Tuesday morning.
During a press conference, the York County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded shortly after 10 p.m. Monday night to a domestic violence related incident at a home on Farrier Lane, which is located outside of the city of York.
Before deputies arrived, the alleged suspect, identified as 47-year-old Christian Thomas McCall, reportedly fled from the home on foot. He was wanted for allegedly assaulting a woman at the home, deputies said. York County K-9 officers were then called in to track McCall, deputies said.
Shortly after 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, McCall allegedly "fired shots," ultimately striking a K-9 handler, deputies say. The K-9 handler was then taken to Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill.
With the assistance of several law enforcement departments including Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, Emergency Medical Services and fire officials, a search ensued for McCall.
During the search, deputies said McCall allegedly fired more shots, injuring three officers. The sheriff's office said McCall was also reportedly shot during the incident. He was taken into custody and brought to the hospital, deputies said.
There was an active crime scene near the intersection of South Paraham Road at Charlotte Highway in York.
