The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is assisting authorities in southeast Iowa’s Appanoose County, following an Officer-Involved shooting. Authorities say late Thursday evening, a law enforcement pursuit that began in Marion County, entered Monroe County and then into Appanoose County. During the pursuit in Appanoose County, an Appanoose County Deputy Sheriff discharged his service weapons at the suspect vehicle.

The suspect was taken into custody. Neither the suspect nor the Deputy were injured during the incident. No names were released early this (Friday) afternoon, and additional details will be made available as the investigation continues.
