Suspect Killed, 2 Georgia Officers Wounded in Shooting During Suspected Gun Store Burglary

Two Georgia police officers were wounded and a man was killed during a shooting inside a suburban Atlanta retailer.

Smyrna Police Chief Keith Zgonc said that the officers were investigating reports of gunfire and pilferage in progress around midnight when they found the suspect inside Adventure Outdoors, which consisted of more than 18,000 guns in stock.

When officers arrived, they encountered a gunman who was found inside the store. Gunfire erupted between the gunman and officers on the scene. The incident left the two officers wounded and the suspect was killed, Zgonc said.

Police have not released the names of the deceased suspect or the officers, who have been mentioned as a part of the incident. They were hospitalized and expected to survive.

We’re not sure what his reasoning was for breaking into the store,” said Zgonc, noting that police believed he was alone during the act.

Cobb County police officers were also present on the scene and fired at the suspect.

However, Zgonc did not say which of the officers shot the man or how many shots were fired during the incident.

Cobb County Police Chief Stuart Vanhoozer mentioned that a large number of his officers arrived to support Smyrna police. The uncertainty of the situation seemed quite vulnerable.

There are going to be a lot of police officers come when one of their comrades is hurt,” Vanhoozer said. “We don’t know what we have, we don’t know how many suspects we have … we do know that they’re in a gun store with lots of weapons.”
