Jackson County court deputies shot a man while reportedly trying to serve an eviction notice Friday morning in Blue Springs.
The man, who allegedly pointed a weapon at the deputies, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, Blue Springs Police said. That department is investigating the shooting, which happened about 9:20 a.m. Friday in the 400 block of Northwest Westchester Drive in northern Blue Springs, east of Missouri 7 and north of the Blue Springs Country Club.
According to the Jackson County Circuit Court, at some point during the deputies’ visit to the home, the man retrieved a weapon and pointed it at them, causing the deputies to shoot. It is not known if the wounded man is who was receiving the eviction notice.

NEWPORT, Ark. (KAIT) - An Arkansas State Hospital psychologist reports the man accused of killing Sydney Sutherland is fit to stand trial, according to KARK.
Quake Lewellyn faces multiple charges, including capital murder, kidnapping, and rape of the Jackson County woman.
Back in January, Lewellyn went under a mental forensic exam.
The nine-page report noted that Lewellyn was interviewed by a psychologist at the Arkansas State Hospital in Little Rock on Jan. 7. The interview included a face-to-face interview and mental status exam.
The number of major criminal and civil trials has dropped during the pandemic.
The Multnomah County District Attorney s Office announced the conviction of two teenagers on weapons charges in early December. Both were charged in connection with a May 2019 shooting that sent bullets into homes, businesses and vehicles. Both defendants were convicted of unlawful use of a firearm, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Although the number of shootings in Portland is on track to double this year, the DA s office said this was only the third felony trial to be held in the county since March and the only one involving a shooting.
