SNELLVILLE, GA—Gwinnett County Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Tuesday, Oct. 13, on Rockbridge Road near Stone Drive after the officers’ patrol vehicle was rammed from behind.
Two officers were traveling northbound on Rockbridge Road in a marked patrol vehicle when the driver of an older-model beige Kia Sorento struck their vehicle from behind. The driver continued to ram and push the patrol vehicle until it came to rest along the curb.
During the incident, one of the officers managed to exit the patrol vehicle while it was still being struck. The Kia Sorento nearly struck the officer, prompting the officer to fire at the vehicle.
The driver fled the scene, continuing northbound on Rockbridge Road. Neither officer was injured during the incident.
Detectives have since identified the vehicle and its driver. The vehicle has been located, and the driver is now in custody and being questioned by investigators.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
