TBI Special Agents are investigating the circumstances of an officer-involved shooting that occurred Friday afternoon in Williamson County. Preliminary information from the scene indicates that deputies with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a driver on suspicion of reckless driving, near mile marker 31 on I-840 in Williamson County. The driver wrecked the vehicle, and as he exited the car, pulled a handgun from his pants. One deputy fired at the subject, striking him in the leg. The man ran into a wooded area before being apprehended by deputies. He was treated at a local hospital and then booked into the Williamson County Jail where he faces local charges. Authorities are still working to confirm the man’s identity. No deputies were injured and the incident remains under investigation.
