ORIGINAL: .A woman has been killed and a Liberty County deputy was shot in the neck in Liberty County, as part of what has become a multiple shooting in two separate scenes. The deputy was taken to the hospital by Life Flight. Reports say the deputy, identified as Richard Whitten, is still alive. He is a four year veteran of the department. We are waiting for more information about the woman that was killed.

Officials in Liberty County also say there is a manhunt underway for Pavol Vido, who was living in a metal container behind the business. In the last month, the sheriff's office served Vido eviction papers.

Law enforcement says multiple people were also shot at the B Dependable Plumbing. The plumbing business is where the woman that was killed was found. Vido's encounter with the Whitten was at a veterinarian clinic a couple of miles away from the plumbing business.

Seven Cleveland ISD schools are in lock-in mode because of the investigation. That means no one is allowed in or out of the campuses.
