MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says deputies shot and wounded a knife-carrying man in the Memphis suburb of Cordova.

A statement from the bureau says Shelby County sheriff’s deputies were responding to a call shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday that someone was driving erratically and had been involved in a hit-and-run. They encountered Edmond Otis Studdard walking down the road with a knife.

The TBI says deputies fired two shots at Studdard, who was taken to a hospital. His exact condition was not immediately available.

TBI agents are investigating at the request of the local district attorney general. Bureau spokeswoman Susan Niland says Studdard is white. She did not immediately know the race of the deputies involved.

TBI already is investigating three shootings involving Memphis police officers this year.
