“Four law enforcement officers in South Carolina were shot early on Tuesday morning, when what began as a domestic violence call turned into a manhunt for a heavily-armed suspect.

The incident began when officers in York, around 25 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina, responded to a call that a man was hitting a woman in a home. When they arrived they discovered that the suspect had fled, and a search began, with police dogs drafted in to help.

At around 1am, the suspect fired at a York police officer from the K-9 unit, the Washington Post reported. He was rushed to a nearby medical center in a police vehicle. Then at around 3:30am the suspect opened fire again, striking three York County sheriff’s deputies. According to ABC News, two of the deputies had to be airlifted to hospital in Charlotte. Their condition is not yet certain.

The suspect, who was named as 47-year-old Christian Thomas McCall, was later taken into custody with gunshot wounds. According to WSOC McCall had been charged with assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and assault in 1994, although McCall’s father in law said that violence towards police was ‘uncharacteristic’ for the 47-year-old.”
