The sheriff’s office said in a brief media release that around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, March 13, the deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on the driver.
A pursuit started and the vehicle was eventually stopped after the driver went into a ditch, the sheriff’s office said.
After the vehicle was stopped, “shots were fired” and the adult female was struck, apparently more than once, with the media release noting the suspect “received gunshot wounds.”
The suspect was flown to a Fargo hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Authorities said a firearm was recovered at the scene of the incident, but they did not detail if the female suspect is believed to have fired the weapon or if she displayed it.
