The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office warned its deputies are responding to an “ongoing” hostage situation shortly before 5 p.m. at a residence along Pittsboro Goldston Road near its intersection with U.S. Highway 421.
An alert from the sheriff’s office said its deputies are dealing with a barricaded person within a residence and did not specify whether it is one hostage or multiple. The incident resulted in one Chatham County Sheriff’s deputy being shot, injured, and transported for medical treatment. As of 5 p.m., the office is not sharing details about the deputy’s condition or extent of their injuries.
As law enforcement responds to the residence and barricaded person, Pittsboro Goldston Road is closed in both directions and both road-users and the public at large are asked to avoid the area. The 5 p.m. Tuesday release said deputies and other emergency personnel remain on scene. Because of the active nature of the incident, further updates from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office will be shared as the scene evolves — but it is not making any further details publicly available.
