The man was taken to Region One Health in critical condition, according to SCSO. Both deputies were hospitalized with non-critical injuries, TBI said, and a SCSO spokesperson told the Commercial Appeal both officers have been released from the hospital.
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office identified the suspect as 23-year-old Charlie Gibson. He remained in critical condition as of Tuesday afternoon.
Gibson has a criminal record, including charges for theft, felony possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, and aggravated assault.
He spent five years in prison before being released in October 2020, however many of the records are spotty.
TBI is investigating the shooting at the request of Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich. TBI will submit findings to the DA, who will review the officers' actions.
