SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn —The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation into a deputy-involved shooting Thursday afternoon in Cordova.

According to investigators, Shelby County Deputies were responding to a call saying a person was driving erratically.

The person was reportedly involved in a hit and run incident near Macon Road and Big Orange Road.

While on the scene, the four deputies came across Studdard who was walking down the street with a knife in his hand.

It’s unclear what happened next, but two Deputies opened fire, striking the man.

He was rushed to the hospital where he is being treated.

No Deputies were injured.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office has confirmed there is another scene crime scene further down Big Orange Road.

At the time, it's unclear if that's the scene of the reported hit-and-run.

So far, the Sheriff's Department has not received word that any of their deputies have been relieved of duty pending the outcome of the investigation, but did say it's standard procedure.

The TBI said they will not identify the Deputies involved.

They will leave that up to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department.

According to state documents, the TBI, the District Attorney’s Office, the MPD and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding which states the state agency would be called in when there is an officer or deputy-involved shooting that proves fatal.

Once the TBI’s investigation is complete, the findings will be sent to the District Attorney who will be responsible for deciding whether or not charges will be filed.

The state agency’s findings will remain secret.

It’s unclear why the District Attorney’s Office requested the agency be brought in at this time.
