"When he fell to the ground he fired from his jacket," said Chief Deputy Joseph Maurer with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. "A weapon from his firearm, a revolver and he shot three times striking deputy Carr Craig in the shoulder mic."

Carpenter was arrested at the scene. He faces multiple charges including attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer.
