The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in after a Flemington man was shot in an officer-involved shooting Wednesday morning.

Liberty County Sheriff Will Bowman confirmed that his deputies were dispatched to an Old Hines Road residence about 9:30 a.m. after 911 received a call about a domestic situation. Deputies responding to the scene engaged the subject twice, Sheriff Bowman said, and fired at him the second time.

“As a result, our guys got involved in an officer-involved shooting,” the sheriff said. “The subject is in our custody at the hospital. We are waiting on assistance from GBI.”

The suspect, whose name has not been released, has died at Liberty Regional Medical Center, county coroner Reginald Pierce confirmed.

Sheriff Bowman also said there is no further threat to the community and no deputies were injured in the incident.

“We just want to say prayers to the family and to our officers responding and doing a great job,” the sheriff said. “We are trying to make sure we keep our citizens safe in Liberty County. The county should be happy we have good officers who went out there and did their job today.”

Sheriff Bowman said he could not discuss if the subject pulled a weapon on the officers, and any such instance would be a part of the GBI’s investigation.
