Off Duty Vermont Police Officer Shot By Saratoga Springs Police Early Sunday

An off-duty police officer from Vermont was shot by police in Saratoga Springs. WNYT reports it happened near Wheatfields, a restaurant on Broadway near the intersection of Caroline Street, around 3 a.m. Sunday, when an off-duty sheriff’s deputy from Vermont got into a fight with some people from the Utica area, and gunshots were exchanged. They say they saw the off-duty deputy pointing the gun, and ordered him to drop it multiple times. However, that off-duty deputy made a motion towards the officers, and they fired about 10 or 11 shots. A total of three people were hurt in all the gunfire – the deputy, a guy from the Utica area, and a woman believed to be the deputy’s girlfriend – who was grazed by the bullet, say police. All are expected to survive.
