On Wednesday morning at about 11:49 a.m., Madison County deputies and SUNY Morrisville police were dispatched to 3483 English Avenue in the Town of Eaton after a domestic dispute was reported.
When officers arrived, they encountered a male shouting for help while being pursued by a 17‑year‑old male carrying a knife. Law enforcement ordered the teen to drop the weapon, but he refused.
The teenager then engaged in a physical struggle with the responding officers. During the altercation, a SUNY Morrisville officer discharged his firearm, striking the teen in the shoulder. The officer’s identity has not been released.
The injured teen was transported to a Syracuse hospital and is expected to survive. A Madison County sheriff’s deputy who was also involved in the incident required medical treatment and was taken to a Syracuse hospital as well.
Investigation underway
The Madison County Sheriff’s Office, along with the New York State Police, Oneida City Police, Village of Hamilton Police, Village of Cazenovia Police, Madison County EMS, the Morrisville Fire Department, and the Madison County District Attorney’s Office, are conducting a joint investigation into both the domestic dispute and the officer‑involved shooting.
No charges have been announced against the teen, and the investigation will determine whether any criminal or administrative actions are warranted.
