One man is dead after a Deputy involved shooting in Williams County. Just before 1:30 this morning deputies were dispatched to a report of a violent domestic disturbance west of Williston.
Williams County Detective Dan Ward says the suspect was armed with a firearm and the deputies did have to discharge their firearms at the suspect. He says the shots hit the suspect in the the leg and in the torso. According to Ward, the deputies immediately attempted lifesaving measures while waiting for EMS to transport the man to the hospital where he was later on pronounced deceased.
