Henry County, GA (September 22, 2018) –  On Saturday, September 22, 2018, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) was requested by the Henry County Police Department (HCPD) to investigate an officer involved shooting.  Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 1:26 am, a HCPD officer initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 75.  During the stop, the vehicle fled the scene.  Officers pursued the vehicle to the cul-de-sac on Autumn Lake Drive in McDonough where the vehicle stopped.  As officers approached, the vehicle drove toward them.  Two officers fired their weapons.  The vehicle was later located on Head Lane in McDonough, but the driver was not found.

The GBI will continue its independent investigation.  Once completed, it will be turned over to the Henry County District Attorney's office for review.
