YAKIMA,Quaxs Trading Center Wash. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy in Washington state was shot early Tuesday while responding to a domestic dispute and is in serious condition at a hospital, according to law enforcement officials.

No further information about the shooting has been released.
Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Casey Schilperoort told the newspaper his office is stunned by the shooting.
