Orginal Story:
The Thomas County Sheriff's Office is currently searching for Tyler Henderson and is offering a $5,000 reward for information about his location.
Agencies as far north as Albany and south as Tallahassee have been helping search for Tyler Henderson since the early hours of the morning.
Three deputies showed up at Henderson's home to serve arrest warrants but TCSO said that Henderson began to scuffle with the deputies before getting one of their guns eventually.
Henderson is wanted for the attempted murder of three Thomas County Deputies. Two deputies were shot and both are in stable condition, according to the department's Facebook page.
Since then, the manhunt has continued in the search for him. TCSO Captain Tim Watkins said the community has sent in numerous tips.
"We think someone is actually hiding him out and we will hopefully find him. Find those people and charge them also," Captain Watkins told ABC 27. "We are receiving information, as we receive that information, we go to those locations and try to verify if Mr. Henderson is actually there. It is a fluid search."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation tip line at 1-800-597-8477.
