The apparent shooting took place on Jan. 15 outside the gaming property. Several officers had been at the casino socializing, according to KULR<\/em>, another local TV station.<\/p>\n

The officer, deputy, and a civilian were in the venue\u2019s parking area when a Chevy Malibu drove into the lot and stopped near the officers. A driver and passenger were inside the Chevy.<\/p>\n

\n

The driver brandished a firearm. That led the officer and deputy to reach into the Chevy to attempt to confiscate the handgun, KULR<\/em> said. The civilian apprehended the passenger and got the person out of the car. The civilian also tried to grab the gun away from the driver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The firearm discharged during the struggle. Initial reports said a bullet fragment wounded the deputy in the face. He was not believed to be seriously injured.<\/p>\n

The injured police officer is Matt Frank. Placing him on leave is standard policy following such an altercation. Frank has been with the police department for nine years.<\/p>\n

Car Drags Officer<\/h2>\n

The driver then allegedly hit the gas. The car dragged the officer who was holding onto the driver\u2019s side of the Chevy. The civilian was holding onto the passenger\u2019s side. The civilian was also dragged.<\/p>\n

But the two soon were able to break free. The Malibu then fled from the lot.<\/p>\n

The car got into a collision nearby. The driver was seriously injured, police revealed. But the driver is likely to survive, the report said.<\/p>\n

Ongoing Investigation<\/h2>\n

Following standard practices, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigations has taken over the investigation of the incident. State officers will review evidence and statements from witnesses.<\/p>\n

So far, there have been no arrests in the case. Police said the driver was a 24-year-old Billings, Mont. man. Officers did not immediately release his name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, investigators have yet to confirm if the gun was ever fired during the incident, and are still trying to determine all of the circumstances surrounding the disturbance from beginning to end,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
