On Nov 20, 2022, round 3:00 a.m. an off-duty deputy from the Rutland County Sheriff’s Office was attacked by a group of about three people on Sunday at the intersection of Caroline Street and Broadway in Saratoga Springs. After the deputy displayed a gun, one of the men in the group fired, with the deputy firing back. Police say seven to eight shots were in the exchange.

Saratoga Springs police officers patrolling in the nightlife district heard shots fired on Broadway, about a block away from their location. The Vermont deputy did not comply when asked to drop the weapon several times. When the sheriff’s deputy, who was not in uniform, didn’t drop his weapon, Saratoga Springs officers opened fire. The deputy, who was not immediately identified, suffered 10 bullet wounds, including one to the chest, but was conscious and was expected to survive. The deputy's girlfriend was grazed by the gunfire and is also in stable condition at this time.
