NORFOLK
Norfolk police are searching for two men who exchanged gunfire with an off-duty deputy sheriff Monday night.
Police said the two men tried to rob the off-duty deputy just before 11:30 p.m. Monday on Norchester Avenue near Myrtle Avenue in Norfolk’s Broad Creek neighborhood.
One of the robbers fired his gun at the deputy, who returned fire, police said. The deputy was not hit, and the robbers apparently were not hit, police said.
A man went to a hospital with a gunshot wound late last night, but police said this morning that the man's wound appeared to be unrelated to the incident involving the deputy.
Police searched nearby neighborhoods, but had not made any arrests this morning, said Chris Amos, police spokesman.
