They took him into a back office and called the Sheriff&#8217;s Office. When Dep. Gentry and another deputy arrived, the suspect \u2014 Steven Thodos of Sterling \u2014 reportedly pulled a gun out of his waistband and opened fire. The two security guards were hit and received minor injuries. They were treated and released from the hospital. But Dep. Gentry was more seriously wounded. Thodos was shot by Gentry&#8217;s partner before fleeing and leading police officers from multiple agencies on a manhunt through Chantilly. He was captured Saturday night and is currently in the county jail.
