Bay County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating an officer involved shooting Friday morning.
The shooting happened around 5:45 Friday morning at 5135 Bertha Nelson Road just off Highway 231 in Bayou George.
Initial reports say a deputy was answering a disturbance call at a home when 27-year-old Dustin Garland came out and started firing a 30.06 rifle in the air.
As Garland pointed the high powered rifle at deputies, Deputy Chad Vidrine fired multiple rounds at the subject, hitting him five times. Deputies were able at that time to secure the subject and get his rifle, neutralizing the confrontation.
Garland was taken to a local hospital where his condition is not being released.
After the scene was secured, it was learned that there were three small children within the home.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is being called to to handle the investigation which is standard practice in Florida when a local police agency is involved.
