BOONE, N.C. (AP) — Two North Carolina sheriff’s deputies were shot and wounded during a standoff Wednesday, and officials say one of the deputies who was shot was still at the scene. The Watauga County Sheriff’s Office said the shooter remains barricaded in a portion of the home and has periodically fired at law enforcement officers nearby. Deputies were dispatched to a home in Boone at 9:44 a.m. after the homeowner and his family did not report for work or answer telephone calls, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
