The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into an officer-involved shooting in Henry County. The GBI said the shooting happened around 8:45 a.m. on Sunday on Brannan Road near McDonough. The suspect had a shotgun in his hands when officers arrived and didn't drop it when ordered, the GBI said.
HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - A Henry County police officer shot and injured a man armed with a shotgun during a domestic incident early Sunday, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
