48-year-old Michael A Blalock was shot Thursday by at least one Morgan County Sheriff Office Detective following a domestic incident on CCC Road.
According to Johnson, two detectives from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at a residence on CCC Road near Wartburg in relation to an individual with a gun. The subject was allegedly hiding in nearby woods and when officers closed in, gunfire was exchanged.
Blalock was struck twice with what appear to be non-life threatening wounds. He was taken by LIFESTAR to the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office will file warrants for domestic assault against Blalock in relation to the incident.
Additional charges are expected against Blalock when the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation finishes its investigation.
