A domestic violence kidnapping suspect has been rushed to a local hospital after being shot by a deputy U.S. Marshall in the Little Mexico area of southern Hidalgo County.

San Juan police told Action 4 News that it all started with a domestic violence incident off East 7th Street and Cesar Chavez Road late Wednesday morning.

It ended with the man allegedly kidnapping his girlfriend and taking her to a home on the 200 block of San Bernadindo Street.

The home is located in the Little Mexico area just south of Alamo where a team of law enforcement were called to the scene.

Investigators told Action 4 News that authorities rescued the kidnapped woman through a rear window of the home.

A deputy U.S. Marshall shot the suspect after he allegedly saw him reaching for something.

Paramedics rushed the suspect to a local hospital where he condition is not known at this time.

Action 4 News will provide more information as it becomes available.
