COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two Franklin County sheriff's deputies were involved in a shooting incident Thursday night, but neither deputy was injured, NewsChannel 4's Duarte Geraldino reported.

Chief Deputy Steve Martin said the incident stemmed from a narcotics arrest that got out of control. He said two suspects were in a red Pontiac Grand Am near Valley View Drive and Wilson Road. When officers approached the vehicle, Martin said the suspects pulled out guns. Several shots were fired, but it is unclear as to who fired the shots.

The suspects then fled the scene in the car. The vehicle was found about a half of a mile away at a trailer park along Wilson Avenue. It was impounded to be searched for evidence. The suspects remain on the loose.
