The sheriff just talked to us. He said one officer is injured and one person is dead after an officer-involved shooting this morning.
They could not give us the name of the officer or the agency they are with, but said they suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound. @WXII https://t.co/k7HvKuWt7l
