A SWAT standoff that lasted more than 14 hours ended peacefully Monday morning after a man barricaded himself inside a Butts County home.
The sheriff’s office said that the city of Jackson police responded Sunday night to a call about a person screaming in the Fox Hollow Subdivision.
When the police arrived, a man fired shots at the police before he barricaded himself in the home.
After 7:30 a.m., Georgia State Patrol went into the house and got the man out peacefully. Officials said that the man will be taken to the Butts County Sheriff’s Office for an arraignment.
What exactly prompted the shooting and standoff is under investigation.
According to officials, two officers were hurt but not from gunfire. One officer has a broken wrist. The woman officer who injured her eye also injured her leg as well. Both have been released from the hospital.
Officials have not identified the suspect who has barricaded himself inside the home.
