A Walton County sheriff’s deputy is fighting for their life and a suspect is dead following an officer-involved shooting Wednesday at a Dollar General store in Mossy Head.
- Sheriff Michael Adkinson confirmed the shooting took place on US Highway 90 at Lancelot Road, where the Dollar General is located.
“[The] suspect is now deceased and our deputy is facing life threatening injuries,” Adkinson said in a statement.
Authorities have closed US Highway 90 in both directions—eastbound and westbound—while they investigate. Officials expect the closure to last for an extended period.
- The sheriff’s office plans to provide more details during a press conference later tonight.
“That’s all I’m prepared to release at this time,” Adkinson said.
