Police authorities, specifically the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), are currently probing a second shooting incident involving a Henry County police officer over the Labor Day weekend.
In a series of unexpected incidents over the Labor Day weekend, the Henry County Police Department has been involved in two shootings. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has been called in to investigate both cases, with the investigations set to be handed over to the Henry County District Attorney's Office once completed.
The first incident occurred on Friday night, but details about the minor who was shot and the officer involved remain scarce. According to reports, the shooting took place at a Henry County home, though the specific location was not specified. No information about the minor's age or current condition is available.
The second incident involved a 38-year-old man named Greg Hamilton. On Sunday morning, at around 8:45 a.m., a police officer shot Hamilton outside a Henry County home on Brannan Road in the McDonough area. The incident occurred in response to a domestic call.
According to the reports, Hamilton was holding a shotgun when officers encountered him outside the home. Officers repeatedly told Hamilton to drop the gun, but he allegedly refused. An officer then shot Hamilton, who was subsequently taken to an area hospital. The GBI has stated that no officers were injured in the incident, but they provided no further details about the incident.
This is the third incident involving a Henry County police officer this Labor Day weekend. The GBI is investigating both incidents and will later hand over the cases to the Henry County District Attorney's Office. However, the specific name of the current Henry County District Attorney is not provided in the search results.
The shooting involving Greg Hamilton is the second incident involving a Henry County police officer this weekend. The first incident involved a minor who was allegedly going after his mother with a knife. Details about this incident are also scarce, with no information about the officer who shot the minor or the minor's current condition provided in the report.
The GBI has stated that it will provide further details about the incidents once the investigations are complete. Until then, the community waits with a sense of unease, hoping for clarity and resolution in these troubling events.
