There are reports of at least one deputy shot in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, on Wednesday evening.
Multiple law enforcement agencies, including state, local, and federal, are responding to an active scene at the intersection of Pittsville Road and Homestead Road.
A medical helicopter was dispatched to the scene.
Congressman John McGuire confirmed multiple deputies were shot, but details about the shooting are not clear.
WCYB reported that a deputy was injured as authorities were serving search warrants at a home. The individual is now barricaded in their home, and law enforcement is using loudspeakers to get the person out of the house.
My thoughts and prayers are with the deputies who were shot in Pittsylvania County, as well as their families. We are closely following the situation and keeping everyone affected in our hearts during this difficult time.https://t.co/oJqpWeG1yc
