Three U.S. Marshals and a suspected gunman were wounded in a shooting early Friday in New York City, according to three law enforcement sources.
Deputies were in the Bronx when they were searching for a suspect believed to be linked to shooting a State Trooper in Massachusetts last month during a traffic stop, the sources said, based on preliminary information.
Law enforcement officials said gunfire broke out at approximately 5:30 am, NBC New York reported.
The shooting left the suspect critically wounded and multiple U.S. Marshals with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the officials.
It is unclear how severe the injuries were, but law enforcement officials said the U.S. Marshals were in stable condition.
