Authorities in a northwest Illinois community confirmed that three Ogle County Sheriff's deputies were injured in a shooting in Dixon.

Authorities said an individual threatened suicide and homicide and an emergency response team was activated. Hostage negotiations began, and 50 phone calls were then made with no answer.
