GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (AP) Authorities say a northern Nevada sheriff’s deputy is recovering from a gunshot to the face and a parolee from California and a woman who was with him are jailed on felony charges after an exchange of gunfire during a traffic stop in Gardnerville.
Sgt. John Lenz was being treated at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno for a facial wound, and Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley issued a statement saying he was confident that Lenz will recover.
Authorities corrected initial reports that Lenz had been wounded in the neck and said two other gunshots to his chest were stopped by his ballistic vest in the 11:15 p.m. Sunday shooting.
