Armed suspect fatally shot in confrontation with deputies

A suspect is dead after a confrontation with deputies led to a shooting in the Upstate over the weekend. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office responded to a home on Arch Street in Greenville, after a 911 call regarding a disturbance at the home came in around 7:40, Saturday night.

When deputies arrived they found an armed suspect outside the home, which led to a shooting. The suspect was struck and was pronounced dead at the scene. No deputies were injured in the incident and the Sheriff's Office says just one deputy fired shots.

The identity of the deceased has not yet been released. SLED has been called into investigate which is standard protocol in officer involved shootings statewide.
