GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Authorities say a Greenville County deputy is recovering from a gunshot wound, and the man who shot him has been killed.
Master Deputy Laura Campbell says the deputy was responding to a sexual assault call at a motel on Monday afternoon.
During a scuffle, the suspect knocked a Taser from the deputy's hand and was able to pull the trigger of another officer's gun. That weapon went off, hitting a deputy in the leg.
The suspect was then shot and killed.
Authorities said Monday the deputy had undergone surgery and was expected to recover. Neither the officer's name nor the name of the suspect has been released.
