----------------------------
A manhunt is now underway for one person following an officer-involved shooting on Wednesday afternoon in South Montgomery County.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said the shooting occurred on Interstate 45, north of Pruitt Road.
Authorities said that during a traffic stop, a male and female refused to identify themselves to a DPS trooper.
At that time, DPS said they contacted the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office to bring an AFIS, or an automatic fingerprint identification system, to the scene to identify the male and female.
While they were waiting for the results of the AFIS scan, the driver of the vehicle, later identified as 28-year-old Tyler Goodson, jumped back into a 1996 White Chevrolet Pickup truck, tried to take off by reversing the vehicle and attempting run over a Montgomery County Sheriff's Office deputy.
