Authorities say a Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputy was investigating a house fire Tuesday evening, when he came across several people who tried to stop his work. After what State Police say was a 'brief altercation,' the deputy detained a woman - placing her in his squad car. As he attempted to take a man into custody, a shot was fired from an undisclosed location. The bullet struck the woman in the car, and she was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Neither the deputy nor the man he was detaining were hurt.
