Hillsborough deputy shot; suspect arrested

After a nearly six-hour search, Hillsborough deputies have arrested DeAndre Jamal Wallace, 18, right, a suspect in the shooting of a narcotics officer Saturday afternoon.

Wallace, who was shot by the deputies in the upper torso, will be charged with attempted murder, said J.D. Callaway, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's officials said Chrisopher Baumann, 30, a narcotics deputy who has been with the sheriff's department since 1998, was shot multiple times in the upper torso. He is in critical condition.

He said the deputies were in the neighborhood to arrest several people on crack cocaine possession, including Wallace, when shooting broke out. The deputies returned fire.

It is unclear if any of the suspects were injured. Deputies have taken two male witnesses in for questioning.
