Apr. 27—CHAUMONT — A man was injured in an officer-involved shooting early Saturday morning.

A news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office states that deputies responded to a report of a domestic incident at 12840 Route 12E in Lyme. When deputies got on scene, they approached the residence on foot when a man ran towards them brandishing a weapon.

Deputies then retreated while telling the man to drop the weapon and he did not, the news release states. Instead the man pursued the deputies with the weapon and the officers fired shots at him.

He was then detained and given aid while awaiting EMS, according to the sheriff's office. The man was taken to Samaritan Medical Center and is in stable condition.

No officers were injured.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office was assisted by state police, Jefferson County Office of Fire & Emergency Management, Cape Vincent Ambulance Squad, and Chaumont First Responders. The investigation has been turned over to state police.
