A Morgan County deputy was shot Tuesday morning when law enforcement responded to a call of a suicidal person.

About 7:30 a.m.,  the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the 7000 block of Beech Grove Road, Martinsville, on the report of a suicidal person. Shortly after deputies arrived and received no answer at the door, a male subject reportedly fired a shot from inside the house striking a deputy. That deputy was transported to an Indianapolis hospital via ambulance. Morgan County Sheriff Rich Myers is with the deputy and, at last report, that deputy's condition was reported as Stable.

Multiple agencies are on the scene assisting with the perimeter. Both the Morgan County and Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Teams are working together at the scene..
