According to multiple sources. Just after midnight Saturday morning Scottsboro Police Department responded to a domestic dispute on Ruth Street in Scottsboro.

When SPD arrived the suspect Daniel Victor Mccarn, age 29, formerly of Huntsville, now of Scottsboro fled in a vehicle and a pursuit ended in a crash at the intersection of US Hwy 72 and County Park Road.

Then McCarn exited his vehicle and began firing at SDP officers, striking one officer. McCarn then fled on foot. Now a multi-agency manhunt is currently underway to attempt to locate the McCarn. He is 5’10, 260 lbs. with brown hair and brown eyes. McCarn should be considered armed and dangerous.

The officer is being treated at Huntsville Hospital. Name of the officer has not been released at this time.
