A shooting in Woodstock, Georgia, left the suspect dead and an officer injured on Wednesday. The incident occurred along Interstate 575, which was shut down for hours.
The shootout started after the suspect fled a traffic stop on I-575 and fired at officers. A Woodstock officer returned fire, hitting the suspect. The officer's injury is non-life-threatening, according to reports.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is investigating the matter, as is standard procedure when an officer is involved in a shooting.
Interstate 575 has partially reopened, but the I-575 North exit ramp to Towne Lake Parkway remains closed and is expected to remain that way for an extended period.
