Two suspects are in custody and a Jefferson Parish deputy is recovering after a shootout on Monday in unincorporated Gretna.

Christopher Hill of Terrytown was also wounded in the exchange of gunfire and is in stable condition.

After he's released from the hospital, Hill will be charged with two counts of attempted murder, plus drug and weapons charges.

Jimmy Lee of Gretna was arrested Monday night on charges of obstruction of justice, resisting an officer and drug offenses.

The deputy is already home from the hospital.

The shootout happened during an investigation of a suspicious person call.
