CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities in South Carolina have arrested a man in the investigation of the shooting of a Charleston County Sheriff's deputy.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports a man was taken into custody at a home in suburban Charleston about 10 a.m. Friday following an all-night manhunt. His name has not been released.
Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon told several media outlets that 33-year-old deputy Jeffrey DeGrow was shot near his right eye but is expected to recover.
Authorities say the officer was returning to patrol Thursday after investigating a burglary call on James Island when he saw three suspects, who then shot at the deputy several times.
Officers made an initial arrest late Thursday, but found out it was not the man they were looking for in the case.
