A Libby woman was shot and wounded by a law enforcement officer last weekend at a residence just south of Libby, authorities say.

According to a news release from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, dispatch received a call at about 4:04 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, about loud music on Timber Lane.

Deputies responded to the area and located the source of the loud music. They then attempted to contact the resident, who wasn’t identified by law enforcement, by knocking and identifying themselves.
