GRAPHIC CONTENT: Video released from deputy-involved shooting in Pima County
TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - The Pima Regional Critical Incident Team has released video from a deputy-involved shooting that happened on Jan. 22.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of a man firing a weapon at a home in the 6400 block of West Swan Falls Way. The man left the area in a black Chevrolet pickup truck before the deputies arrived.
PRCIT said three hours later, deputies responded to another call about a hit-and-run collision involving a truck.
A few minutes after that, there were reports about a brush fire caused by a black Chevrolet truck, which had a damaged tire and was driving on the rim.
While deputies were investigating both incidents, they located the truck back at the home where shots were fired earlier in the night.

The suspect then allegedly shot a deputy in the leg. That deputy was not able to return fire due to his injuries so a second deputy fired and hit the suspect.
The deputy was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. He has since been released and is recovering.
