Atlanta, GA (March 27, 2025) - At the request of the Atlanta Police Department, GBI agents are investigating an officer involved shooting in Atlanta, GA. Travis Walker, age 42, of Atlanta, GA, was injured during the incident. No officers were injured.

The preliminary information indicates that APD received a 911 call from an individual located in the 2000 block of Lakewood Drive SW in Atlanta in reference to a man with a gun at the same location. During the 911 call, it was stated that a man had a gun and was threatening people at the location.

When the officer arrived on scene, Walker was standing over an individual working on a car. The officer gave Walker commands to take his hand off the gun.
