The deputy took actions to defend himself from the attack and fired his weapon. Mr. Holmes was struck at least once. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital with life threatening injuries; his condition is unknown at this time. The deputy was treated at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing with the Washington County Major Crimes Team and the District Attorneys Office as lead.
