MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas — A man is in critical condition after he was shot by a deputy following a police chase in Montgomery County late Friday night, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said the chase started when deputies attempted a traffic stop on the driver of a white Jaguar in south Montgomery County. During the traffic stop, MCSO said the driver took off and deputies took chase.
The Shenandoah Police Department used tire deflation devices to stop the Jaguar on the on-ramp to FM 1488. At that point, MCSO said the suspect got out of his car with a gun and a deputy opened fire multiple times, hitting the suspect. The man was taken to a hospital where the sheriff’s office said he was in critical but stable condition.
The shooting is being investigated by MCSO, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, and the Texas Rangers.
No other injuries were reported in the incident.
