Dead in Officer-Involved Shooting
WSB-TV learned from police that no officers were hurt and that two crime scenes may be involved.
Event: Atlanta police Maj. The exchange of gunfire, heard and recorded by a number of witnesses in the area, was between the passenger and an officer.
“Where the shots were being fired was directly across the street from us, there was really no cover in between”.
‘The cops were only actually about 100 yards in front of us were hiding behind their cars with guns’.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which investigates some officer-involved shootings when agencies make a request, is not investigating this case, GBI spokesman Scott Dutton told The Associated Press.
Two guns were found in the auto, along with money and a large quantity of drugs, Lee said, but police do not yet have an explanation for why the suspects attempted to flee.
The names of the driver and the dead passenger have not been released.
The suspects haven’t been identified, Lee said. “There were shell casings near the body”.
