Suspect shot by deputy in Ross County

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Ross County Sheriff's deputy shot a suspect Sunday afternoon while responding to a call in Chillicothe.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies responded to the 400 block of State Route 180 at approximately 3 p.m. for what the office said was a "disorderly complaint."

When deputies started their investigation, it was discovered there was enough probable cause to arrest a 58-year-old man for assault, the sheriff's office said. While trying to place the man under arrest, the suspect was shot by the sheriff's office.

According to the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation, no deputies were injured in the incident, which it said was "an officer-involved critical incident."

The sheriff's office did not specify what the suspect did to be shot, how many deputies fired their weapons, or the suspect's condition. The sheriff's office also did not identify the deputy or deputies involved in the incident.

NBC4 is not naming the suspect because, according to online court records, charges have not been filed against him.

BCI is investigating the incident.
