Hostage negotiations began, and 50 phone calls were then made with no answer.
Officials said they were unable to contact the person for over an hour, and due to the lack of communication, they decided to enter the home.
Immediately upon entering, deputies were fired upon. The deputies returned fire and managed to incapacitate the suspect. During the exchange of gunfire, one deputy was struck in the armor, one suffered a gunshot wound to the upper arm and one was struck in the face.
