A 31-year-old man has been charged in the shooting that wounded two Shelby County sheriff’s deputies at a Meadowbrook home.

John Russell “Jack” Thomason is charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of criminal trespass. He is being held in the Shelby County Jail on bonds totaling more than $1 million.

The injured deputies, whose names have not been released, were shot while doing a welfare check Wednesday morning.

By Wednesday night, both had been treated and released from UAB Hospital.

Thomason, whose social media indicates he is a musician, grew up in Shelby County. Alabama court records don’t reflect any prior arrests for him.

Deputies were dispatched about 9:30 a.m. to the house in the 3100 block of Bradford Place after the homeowners called authorities asking them to check on the residence because they were out of town and concerned that their adult son might have broken in.

When four deputies arrived, said Sheriff John Samaniego, they found the back door had been breached. With permission of the homeowners, deputies entered the house.

As they searched the house, deputies made contact with Thomason in an upstairs bathroom.

“They were conversing with them, trying to get them to come out,’’ Samaniego said. “At that point, without warning, they fired on deputies, hitting two deputies.”

One deputy returned fire, but the suspect was not injured.

The sheriff said the two wounded deputies were then moved to safety. Paramedics arrived and rushed them to UAB Hospital in Birmingham via police escort.

Other deputies maintained their positions inside the home and negotiated with the suspect. Eventually he put down the gun and surrendered.

“This is the CEO of a law enforcement agency’s worst nightmare,’’ Samaniego said.

The incident remains under investigation by the Shelby County Major Crimes Task Force and District Attorney Matt Casey.

The Major Crimes Task Force is a multijurisdictional unit made up of law enforcement officers from agencies throughout Shelby County, designed in part to provide an unbiased investigation in officer-involved shootings. Task Force investigations are conducted in coordination with the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office.

“I’m thankful, first and foremost, that our deputies are going to be alright,” Casey said. “This is a stark reminder of the dangers that our law enforcement officers face each and every day.”

If convicted, Thomason will face a range of punishment anywhere from 10 years to life in prison for each count of attempted murder, and up to one year in the county jail for criminal trespass.
