Man Critically Wounded as Deputies Return Fire
The Sheriff’s Department is continuing its investigation of a deputy-involved shooting Saturday in Norwalk that left an unidentified man in critical condition.
The man was shot during one of two exchanges of gunfire that began at 1:30 a.m. in the 11400 block of Alburtis Avenue and moved to the 15000 block of Corby Avenue.
Sgt. Ken Davidson, a Sheriff’s Department spokesman, said the man ignored the deputy and began fumbling with an object in the front of his waistband. The two exchanged gunfire. Then the man attempted to enter a nearby home as police backup arrived. As he shot at officers again, they returned fire, hitting him in the torso.
