UPDATE 6/16/18 @ 4:15 p.m.

We’re learning new details following a shootout between a suspect and police in Ravenswood Friday.

At a news conference Saturday, Jackson County Sheriff Tony Boggs tells WSAZ the suspect’s name is Billy McFarland Jr. and he lives in Charleston. Sheriff Boggs says McFarland opened fire on a woman and law enforcement before being shot by officers.

Officials say McFarland drove up to Ravenswood to pick up a woman with whom he had a previous relationship. We’re told he held that woman against her will in his vehicle with a gun he had purchased several hours before the shootout.

Officials tell WSAZ police originally responded to a call that McFarland was driving erratically and tried pulling him over. They say officers knew something was wrong when that woman jumped out of the vehicle.

They tell WSAZ once she jumped out, McFarland stopped and began shooting her while she was on the ground, trying to get behind the police vehicle. At that point, we’re told McFarland saw officers and began firing at them. That’s when police shot back, hitting him multiple times.

McFarland is listed in critical condition and is still alive.

The Mayor of Ravenswood, Josh Miller, says in a statement the officer involved was Sgt. Seth Fisher, and he was not harmed in the shootout. Mayor Miller says Fisher saved that woman's life, praising the quick response from all law enforcement and first-responder agencies involved Friday.

Here's the statement in full from Mayor Miller:
