Deputy Rob Dillion, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, told ABC News on Monday that investigators were examining multiple crime scenes. Dillion said the suspect stopped his car several times during the chase to open fire on the pursuing deputies.
Dillion said there are a minimum of two crime scenes investigators combed for evidence, but said there could be a total of three or four crime scenes over what he described as a "wide area."
Other than the one deputy who was shot in the leg, Dillion said it remains unclear how the other deputies were injured.
"We're not sure at this point mainly because it could have been glass as bullets struck glass and shattered it or fragments of bullets that were fired at them," Dillion said, adding of the suspect, "He fired at police more than once."
