Onondaga County deputy Isaac Eames ‘shot dead at home’ leaving two others critical

A POLICE officer was allegedly shot dead at his home in an incident that left two others in critical condition.

Isaac Eames, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene early this morning, Syracuse.com reported. He was off-duty at the time.

Two family members, who have not yet been identified, were rushed to hospital where they remain in critical condition.

A 46-year-old woman called 911 to report a shooting at around 7.30am at 4410 Riverview Road, according to dispatch reports.

It was later unearthed in the report that three people were “down” and two additional ambulances were requested after one had already been dispatched.

The shooting has not been considered a random act of violence and police do not believe that there is an ongoing threat to the public.

Eames has worked for the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office since 2010.

The home where the incident took place is owned by Eames, the local outlet reported.

Officers have blocked off Riverview Road between Black Creek and Ethel roads.

Police remained at the scene hours after the shooting.
