Deputies surrounded Degennaro’s house, but he still managed to make it to his vehicle and start the engine. He then used his vehicle as a battering ram, hitting a deputy and a K-9.

Deputies then “opened fire” on the vehicle, and Degennaro was shot.

Degennaro was then transported to a hospital in Ocala, Florida. His condition is not known at this time.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrived on the scene a short time later and will be taking over the investigation.

The deputy and K-9 will make a full recovery.
