A Franklin County deputy was injured in a shooting on the west side of Columbus Friday morning.

A Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy is recovering from a gunshot wound after being shot while trying to serve a warrant in West Columbus.

The gunfire erupted inside a home on Collet Court when the deputy tried to serve the warrant on a man who was suicidal.



Deputy Sean Brady, a 23 year veteran of the sheriff's department and a member of the SWAT team, was hit in the shoulder during the exchange of gunfire and rushed to Mt. Carmel West.

The deputy came to the neighborhood to serve the warrant on 47 year-old Daniel White after his parents called 911 saying their son was armed and threatening to kill himself.

Sheriff Zach Scott said Deputy Brady is in stable condition and will recover.

“I was able to talk with him for a few minutes,” said Scott. “He was in good spirits, joking around a little bit. The bullet went through the chest area, the shoulder area and went clean through. We’re being told that nothing was hit that’s going to be vital. We’re very confident and optimistic that’s he’s going to be fine.”

Sheriff Scott said anytime you're dealing with a high-risk probate warrants it can turn violent very quickly and Friday’s shooting is just another example of one of those situations.

"You've have to be ready and expect anything that comes your way,” said Scott. “You can't think this is an easier warrant or this is a more dangerous warrant. Those things don't exist. You just have to be prepared for everything coming your way.”
