A deputy-involved shooting during a drug raid in southeastern North Carolina injured a suspect in what officials said was the accidental discharge of a weapon.

On Thursday morning, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Vice and Narcotics Unit, along with the BCSO S.W.A.T. team, was conducting a search warrant at a home in Shallotte.

As officers were securing the home, one of the S.W.A.T. team officer’s weapons was discharged, hitting a suspect in the leg.

The suspect was taken to the hospital with what officials said was a non-life-threatening injury.

The discharge appears to be accidental and unintentional, however, because it is standard protocol and at the request of Sheriff John Ingram and District Attorney Jon David, the NC State Bureau of Investigations will be investigating the shooting.
