According to Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante, around 5:30 p.m., deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call to a home near 88 and Big Tree Roads, just south of Rudy. The officers were able to settle the dispute and began to drive a short way down the street.
While conversing, their vehicle was struck by a BB bullet from a gun operated by a juvenile who had been at the home. At the time, deputies thought it was a rifle due to its loud noise.
