Multiple Officers Injured After Shots Fired During Police Chase

A law enforcement officer was shot in the head and at least two others injured during a pursuit in Georgia early on Monday morning, according to reports.

NewsTalk 1330 WLBB said that the Georgia State Patrol began pursuing a vehicle in Bremen at around 4 a.m.

Shots were fired and an officer was hit in the head, the station reported. The officer was life-flighted to an Atlanta area hospital, WLBB said, and he was reportedly "able to talk."

By 6 a.m. local time, two suspects had been taken into custody, according to the station.

The chase ended in the Carroll County near Ithaca off Highway 61 and Flat Rock Road, Ashley Hulsey, a spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, said.

Multiple agencies became involved as the chase entered Carroll County, including the sheriff's office and police in Carrollton and Villa Rica, Hulsey said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Hulsey told 11 Alive that two Carroll County deputies were injured by gunfire. A third officer was injured, but it was not clear which department they belonged to.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said it was heading to the scene at the request of the Georgia State Patrol and the Carrollton Police Department.

The Carrollton Police Department on Facebook urged people to avoid Highway 166 and Highway 61 between Carrollton and Villa Rica.

"Multiple first responders on the scene and all lanes blocked," the department wrote. "More details will be released later."
