Need more information to adequately answer - may depend on who the "bounty hunter" is and in what role he shot you.

Re: legal liability

The answer is, "it depends." Your specific question is about the county so i will tell you that there are statutes removing immunity from suit for certain types of actions against the county and this may be one of them. There are also Civil Rights statutes that allow recovery for certain types of actions against municipalities. There may be other causes of action available to you. You should consider contacting an attorney familiar with and who has experience with these types of legal matters.
