On Wednesday, January 7th, at approximately 11:58 p.m., Victoria County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a reported disturbance in the 400 block of Black Bayou #1 in Bloomington. Prior to deputies’ arrival, the suspect fled the scene, leading to a vehicle pursuit.

The suspect traveled northbound on Highway 185, entered the city limits, and ultimately crashed the vehicle at the intersection of North Street and Nelson Avenue. The suspect was reported to be displaying a fi***rm and refused to comply with deputies’ commands, resulting in a standoff. The suspect fired at deputies, and deputies returned fire.

The suspect was subsequently taken into custody and transported to a local hospital.

At this time, there is no threat to the public, and no other injuries have been reported.

This remains an ongoing investigation.
