The sheriff's office in a southeastern North Carolina county where two deputies were seriously wounded while attempting to arrest a wanted man says both are expected to make a full recovery.
Robeson County sheriff’s deputies Jonathan Walters and Kaelin Locklear were injured by gunfire and a police vehicle on Tuesday.
The sheriff's office said that Sheriff Burnis Wilkins visited the wounded deputies Wednesday at a hospital.
Authorities allege that the subject of the arrest warrant fired at the deputies and also was shot several times. The suspect was in critical but stable condition at another hospital.
