SMITH COUNTY, Texas — Two East Texas sheriff's deputies were involved in a shooting this weekend, authorities said.
Two Smith County deputies shot a man identified as Jackson Lee Davis, 25, of Flint, early Sunday morning after he pointed a semi-automatic pistol at them and ignored commands to drop the weapon, Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith said at a press conference Sunday afternoon.
The officers have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure for the sheriff's office in an incident like this, according to the sheriff's office.
