Multiple officers shot during police chase in Georgia

Multiple officers have been shot in Georgia during a police chase early Monday that ended in Carroll County, according to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

The chase was initiated by the Georgia State Patrol, and “multiple agencies joined the pursuit,” said Ashley Hulsey, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office.
“There were multiple officers shot resulting in multiple injuries,” Hulsey told CNN Monday.

The scene had been contained by 8:30 a.m. Monday and there was no longer a threat to the public, the sheriff’s office said.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the investigation at the request of the state patrol and the sheriff’s office, according to a GBI tweet.

CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — Multiple law-enforcement officers were injured after shots were fired during a pursuit early Monday morning near Bremen, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office confirmed. Authorities also said one suspect is dead.

At around 3:30 a.m., the Georgia State Patrol began the pursuit of a vehicle on I-20 that eventually moved into Carroll County near Ithaca off Highway 61 and Flat Rock Road, the sheriff’s office said.

They said three law-enforcement officers were struck by gunfire, including one from the Villa Rica Police Department, one from the Carrollton Police Department and a third deputy from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

GSP Cpt. Brandon Dawson said a trooper checking for speeders clocked a Nissan driving 111 mph. The vehicle initially stopped, however, when the trooper was approaching the car, the suspects allegedly drove off.

Dawson said the passenger used a rifle to shoot at the trooper’s patrol car during the chase after initial pit maneuver attempt. The shot disabled the vehicle and he lost contact with the suspect. The GSP notified local authorities where Carrollton Police officers were the next to peruse the suspects.

Carrollton Police Chief Joel Richards said the passenger fired rounds into his officer’s vehicle, striking Sgt. Rob Holloway, who then hit a utility poll. The Sgt. was air-lifted to Atlanta where he is currently in surgery. Holloway has been with the department since 2008.

The suspects continued into Villa Rica where Chief Michael Mansour said his officers became involved. He said Officer Chase Gordy was struck twice by gunfire coming from the suspect. He was taken to Grady Hospital.

Carroll County deputy Jay Repetto was also struck during the incident, Carroll County Sheriff Terry Langley said.

Langley said one suspect is dead and another is in custody. He said there were no suspects at large.

Authorities provided an update just after 9 a.m. You can watch a replay of the press conference here:

“We want to send our prayers out to all the families involved. To those officers that were shot and for their speedy recovery and that the doctors would do what they need to do to make sure they get the attention they need,” Langley said.

They said just after 8 a.m. that the scene was no longer “active” and there was no danger to the public.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is on the scene where they will lead the investigation. They said it was at the request of the Georgia State Patrol and the Carrollton Police Department.

Highway 61 at Flat Rock Road just South of Interstate 20 had been shut down in Carroll County for nearly three hours due to the police activity.

A Georgia State Patrol trooper clocked a car going 111 mph (179 kph) on Interstate 20 and initiated a traffic stop around 3:30 a.m., Georgia State Patrol Capt. Brandon Dawson said. The driver stopped initially and then took off again with the trooper in pursuit. The trooper bumped the car to try to stop it but the driver of the car regained control, Dawson said.

The trooper continued pursuing the vehicle until a passenger used a rifle to fire at the patrol car and hit it, taking it out of action.

Local police officers from Carrollton then joined the chase. At some point, a passenger leaned out and fired a shot into a police vehicle, hitting an officer, Carrollton police Chief Joel Richards said. The officer lost control of his vehicle and hit a utility pole and other officers stopped to help him.

The suspect continued on and Villa Rica police officers pursued the car down a side road, Villa Rica police Chief Michael Mansour said. Shots were fired at the officers and one officer was hit twice, he said.

A Carroll County sheriff’s deputy was also shot in the arm, Sheriff Terry Langley said.

One suspect was killed and the other was taken into custody “after a negotiation” and was being held in the Carroll County jail, Langley said.

“It could have been a lot worse, and we’re thankful and we pray for the speedy recovery of those officers,” Langley said.

The law enforcement agencies involved asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to take over.
