ATLANTA, GA — The GBI is investigating after a part time Fulton County sheriff’s deputy is shot and a suspect is killed.

The deputy, identified as Lt. Gerald Johnson, was working an off-duty security job on Monday in the West End when a few people flagged him down saying they were injured in a robbery at the Easy Rental on Lee Street.

Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labatt says Lt. Johnson eventually engaged the suspect and sustained a non-life threatening injury after being shot in the hand.

He’s recovering at Grady Memorial Hospital.

The suspect was killed in the exchange of gun fire.

Two other people were also wounded by the suspect. The investigation into what lead to shooting is also ongoing.
