An investigation is underway by TBI after a Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy suffers severe injuries and a man is dead following a West Knoxville shooting.

Investigators with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation say that Deputies responded to a domestic call in the 3200 block of Denver Lane last night. Once on the scene deputies found an armed man at the residence.

TBI says for reasons still under investigation, the situation escalated and shots were fired by both the individual and at least one of the deputies. The man pronounced dead at the scene.

Sheriff Tom Spangler is asking for prayers for the injured deputy.
