The person with the gun then walked outside where two off-duty deputies confronted him.
The deputies ordered the male to lay down his weapon, but he instead aimed the pistol toward the deputies, which forced them to fire their weapons toward him.
The male who was shot suffered several wounds and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
