Caddo Deputy shot at while responding to call, suspect being sought

Caddo Parish Sheriff's Deputies are currently on looking for a suspect that fired shots at a deputy off Jefferson Paige. 

Over 20 units are on the scene and searching for the suspect. The deputy was not injured! 

Around 1 p.m. today, a Caddo patrol deputy was following up on a tip that a man wanted in connection with a Shreveport shooting from last week had been seen in the area. The deputy spotted the man in question on the road and attempted to speak with him. The suspect produced a gun and fired at the deputy, but did not hit him. The deputy returned fire. It is not known if the suspect was hit.

The suspect fled into the woods nearby. A short while later, a citizen contacted the Sheriff's Office to say that a strange man had entered his home without permission but then left.

Deputies are currently searching the area on foot, with K-9s, and by air using the department's Drone Unit.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sheriff's Office at 675-2170.
