It happened just before 6pm Wednesday near Route 63 and Dewey Hill.
Livingston County authorities say that a man and woman were in the car and that at some point the man got out of the vehicle and pointed his gun at the officer.
Details are still under investigation, but the D&C reportsthat the suspect, 49 year old David Clyde Morgan of Wilmington, North Carolina, allegedly pointed a gun at a Geneseo Police officer, and that the officer fired back. There are no reports that anyone was struck by a bullet.
