A man involved in an “ongoing domestic” situation shot a Dickson County Sheriff's Office deputy, then turned the gun on himself just after 7 a.m. this morning in downtown Dickson, according to Dickson Police Chief Ricky Chandler.

Chandler said the sheriff's office deputy saw the man intentionally cause a car accident on Walnut Street in between McKenzie Street and Bryant Avenue. The deputy approached the scene and the man got out of his car and started shooting at the deputy, according to officials.

The deputy was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Chandler said that the deputy was in “really bad shape.”

Dickson resident Steve Fielder, who lives in the area and was one of the first people on the scene, said the officer never left his car.

According to Fielder, a former Dickson County ambulance service worker, the officer suffered a single gunshot wound to the forehead.
