All southbound lanes of I-75 near Luckett road are closed and the onramp near exit 139 is blocked as Lee County Sheriff's Office investigates a deputy involved shooting.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office says they received a call for service around 3:30 a.m. near mile marker 139 on I-75. Upon arrival, the deputy was immediately confronted by an armed subject with a semi-automatic pistol. The deputy feared for her life and safety and fired at the subject, striking the subject. That person was taken to the hospital with injuries, but that person's condition is not known at this hour. The officer was not hurt during the incident.
