Police say the deputy was exercising when she saw the suspect in the act and was shot, but she’s expected to be okay. Investigators didn’t immediately say where she was shot or if she returned fire.

The suspect drove away from the scene and hasn’t been identified in any way. Investigators are looking through surveillance video and talking to witnesses.
