The suspect barricaded himself inside a home and fired shots at the law enforcement officers, according to U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott.
The deputy US Marshal was taken to a local hospital by another law enforcement vehicle before EMS arrived.
Elliott told WOIO he is in serious, but stable condition.
“He is a tough individual who is going to survive. He is a warrior,” he said.
Elliott said the suspect, whose name has not been released, is a violent, convicted felon who has served almost 20 years in prison and has assaulted law enforcement officers several times previously.
The suspect was wanted in several shootings in Cleveland.
