On July 4, deputies were called to a domestic violence incident at a home in Lacey. A man called 911 and said he needed police to respond "before he kills someone." The caller hung up after that.
When deputies arrived, they say a man opened the front door and pointed a weapon at them. One deputy shot several times, causing "minor injuries."
It's unclear what charges the man could face.
The Region 3 Critical Incident Investigative Team (CIIT) is handling the investigation since a law enforcement officer fired his weapon. Gray's Harbor County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation.
The deputy will be placed on leave, per agency policy.
