Officials say a person is dead and a deputy is in the hospital following a pursuit that ended in an exchange of gunfire in northern Minnesota on Sunday. 

According to the Cass County Sheriff's Office, a 911 caller reported shortly after 4:30 p.m. hearing a shooting near residences in Turtle Lake Township in rural Walker. 

Deputies responded and, shortly after arriving, tried to make contact with a "male subject" who was walking near the 8000 block of Onigum Road Northwest, officials said.  

The sheriff's office said he ran off, deputies chased after him on foot and an exchange of gunfire occurred. One of the deputies was shot in the upper thigh and taken by a helicopter to a hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, for treatment. 

On Monday, the Cass County Sheriff's Office said the deputy was released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

The person being chased was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. It has not yet been confirmed if gunfire from the deputies killed him. Further details on the person are unknown, including his age. 

Body cameras were used and on during the incident, the sheriff's office said. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension confirmed it is investigating.

The deputies involved are now on critical incident leave during the investigation.
