MONROE, Ga. -- State agents are responding to a shooting involving an officer near a metro Atlanta technical college.
The shooting happened around 9 a.m. and involved a call to a man with a gun in the 400 block of E Marable Street roughly a block from Athens Technical College's Walton County campus.
Authorities said a Monroe Police Department officer fired the shot and was not injured. The suspect, however, was injured and is in surgery.
It's unclear how severely the man was hurt. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has already responded to the scene of the shooting and will release more information once available.
A witness to the shooting told 11Alive said that he had just passed the man moments before the shooting, thinking the suspect was a construction worker putting up a sign in the intersection.
He said the man glared as he passed and unwrapped what he thought looked like a Thompson machine gun. Moments later, the witness said he turned down a side road as he called 911. He heard a single gunshot moments later as police arrived at the scene.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as they become available.
