Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong has updated information on last night's stabbing of one of his deputies and the wounding of the suspect. The sheriff says at 6:09 yesterday evening a deputy notified dispatchers that he was getting out of his patrol vehicle to check on a suspicious person near the Carson City Nugget . 9-11 dispatchers received multiple calls of shots fired in that area three minutes later. An initial investigation indicates that when the Deputy Sheriff contacted the suspect, a physical fight followed, and the Deputy was slashed with a knife on the forehead. Investigators say the deputy drew his weapon and fired on the suspect five times. Other deputies arrived and found the deputy with severe head wounds and a suspect with multiple gunshot wounds. The deputy was taken to Carson Tahoe Medical Center while the suspect was taken to Renown Medical Center. Neither is reported to have suffered life threatening wounds. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has assumed control of the investigation.
