Three Georgia officers injured after suspect opened with AK-47 during chase [View all]
Police in Georgia released dashcam video on Thursday showing the events of a shooting earlier this week in which three officers were wounded after a suspect opened fire with an AK-47 during a chase.
Local news affiliate 11 Alive reported Wednesday that the video, released by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, begins at a police traffic stop Monday that resulted from troopers stopping a car clocked at 111 mph on an interstate highway.
The car sped off from officers after being stopped, and a passenger in the vehicle opened fire on officers, disabling one patrol car, with the weapon after police attempted a maneuver to stop the fleeing vehicle. The chase continued and two others were struck by gunfire, including one officer who was struck in the head while driving and crashed his car into a pole; he was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where he is reportedly recovering well.
Law enforcement officers from three agencies including the Carrolton Police Department, Villa Rica Police Department, and Carroll County Sheriff's office were involved in the chase.
