The two deputies were shot around 8:00 a.m., not long after officers had arrived at the home on Beulah Road.
Authorities say the warrant was for a woman who lives in the home and mandated that she be taken to a facility for a mental health evaluation.
One deputy underwent surgery while the other was treated at the hospital for his wounds. Both were expected to recover.
