Manhunt on for suspect in slaying of NC deputy

Authorities in rural North Carolina are searching for an Iraq veteran they suspect in the fatal shooting of a sheriff's deputy. Another sheriff's officer was shot but suffered minor injuries.

Officials with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department said Saturday night they were searching for 32-year-old Skip Brinkley, an Army veteran who served in Iraq from 2004 to 2006. They say he also has some law enforcement training.

Officials say Deputy Adam Klutz was responding to a 911 call at a home earlier Saturday when he was shot in a spot not protected by his bulletproof vest. The other officer was hit three times in his vest.

More than 200 officers were searching the surrounding area in Lenoir, about 75 northwest of Charlotte.
