A suspect was shot by a Webster County Sheriff’s deputy Monday night after a motor vehicle pursuit. Webster County Sheriff Luke Fleener reported that the county telecommunication center received a 911 call at 9:46 p.m. stating that a male had been consuming alcohol and was leaving the scene in a GMC Sierra pickup. The caller stated that the man had a firearm inside his vehicle and may harm himself or others. The deputies located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop , however, the driver attempted to elude deputies through Dayton and the southern part of Webster County. Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies were able to place stop sticks at the intersection of Taylor Avenue and Highway 175, disabling one of the vehicle’s tires. A precision immobilization technique was utilized to eventually disable the vehicle near River Road and Highway 175. When deputies exited their patrol cars and ordered the suspect to put his hands up, he reached down to the passenger seat and stated that he was getting a gun. He then made a shooting motion toward a deputy through the back passenger window of the vehicle. A Webster County deputy fired one shot through the back passenger window striking the suspect in the right hand. The deputies were able to detain the suspect. A pistol was located on the driver side floorboard of the suspect’s vehicle. The suspect was transported to Unity Point Trinty Regional Medical Center in Fort Dodge for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The name of the suspect and the sheriff’s deputy will be released later this week. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation was notified and assisting in the investigation of the shooting Monday night.
