A Johnston County deputy has been placed on paid administrative leave after a teen was shot during a weekend drug raid.
Posted — UpdatedDeputy Jason Guseman, a member of the Johnston County Sheriff's Office's narcotics unit, was executing a search warrant at a home on East Lizzie Street in Selma Saturday night when the owner confronted him with a gun, authorities said.
