BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A sheriff's deputy was shot and injured Monday morning and law enforcement officers warned some residents near the rural town of Star to shelter in place while they searched for the suspect.

The Ada County Sheriff's Office didn't immediately release any details about the deputy's condition.

The shooting happened about 7:30 a.m. near Highway 16, the sheriff's office said in a social media post. The suspect apparently fled the scene. He's described as a white man wearing jeans and a grey jacket. The Ada County Sheriff's Office said the man is considered armed and dangerous.
