GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Gwinnett County police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in downtown Sugar Hill on Friday evening.

Officers said that the shooting happened near the intersection of West Broad Street and Whitehead Road.

Police say just after 4 p.m., they received a phone call from a 17-year-old who told police he was armed with a knife and handgun near the roundabout at Whitehead Road, officials say.

The teen also reportedly told police he was a danger to himself and others.

Officers responded to the scene, along with the Gwinnett County Behavioral Health Unit; police say the clinician spoke with the distressed teen over the phone, who told the clinician that he was suicidal and suffering from depression.

When police arrived, they gave the teen commands to drop the knife that he was holding.

Negotiations with the teen continued for several minutes when he began charging at two officers in a sprint, officials say. As he swung the knife, both officers fired their weapons, hitting the teen at least once.

Medical units were called immediately, however, the teen died on scene from his injuries.

The investigation is being handled by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Their investigators were notified immediately, per Gwinnett County Police policy.

The names of all parties are being withheld until the next of kin can be notified.
