BOLIVAR A suspect was wounded Tuesday following a standoff and police chase in the Bolivar area.
Sheriff Orvis Campbell said his office was asked at 10:20 a.m. to investigate a suspicious letter that was left in a mailbox.
A deputy responded to a home in the 1300 block of Russell Drive NW, Lawrence Township, to question a suspect. The deputy did not get an answer at the door. As the deputy walked back to his car, he heard a gunshot and saw where a bullet round had hit the ground in front of the house, Campbell said.
The deputy got into his car and retreated to a position of safety and called for back-up. Other deputies arrived, as well as Bolivar and Strasburg police. At that time, a person from the house came out, raised a long gun and fired at deputies.
