The GBI is investigating an office-involved-shooting in Barrow County.
Special Agent in Charge Jesse Maddox said it happened about 10:30 Tuesday morning when Barrow County sheriff’s deputies and Auburn Police officers were in the 500 block of Mt. Moriah Road to serve an arrest warrant.
“While at that location, a man in a vehicle attempted to run over two of the officers on scene,” Maddox said. “One deputy fired his weapon at the driver of the vehicle. The man was hit once and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.”
He was not the person the officers were looking for but had active warrants for his arrest. No word on his condition.
No officers were injured.
