Driver Shot By Deputy During Traffic Stop

CLEMMONS, N.C. (WGHP) - A Forsyth County sheriff's deputy was involved in a shooting around 10 a.m. Friday morning near West Forsyth High School, according to officials. No students were injured in the shooting.

According to Sheriff Bill Schatzman, a deputy pulled a vehicle over in the parking lot of the Champ Mart and Smoke Shop on Holder Rd. As the deputy approached the car, the driver raced the car and appeared ready to try to run over the deputy.

When other deputies arrived on the scene, they began shooting at the car. The driver, who hasn't yet been identified, eventually stopped the car a couple of blocks away. He was taken to the hospital.
