Two police officers were shot in DeKalb County, Georgia, early Friday morning. According to WSBTV, the officers were shot at the Colony Ridge apartment complex, which is located near Glenwood Road and Austin Drive in Dekalb County.
WSBTV reports that at least one suspect was shot, and police are searching for a second suspect.
11Alive.com is reporting that the original 911 call came from nearby High Court Place, and that the shooting apparently began as a home invasion involving at least two heavily armed suspects.
Both officers were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
It appears they were shot by a high-powered rifle.
Four nearby schools were also placed on lockdown — Columbia High School, DeKalb Preparatory Academy, Snapfinger Elementary School and Towers High School. There is restricted access to all four schools.
AJC adds that Friday’s shooting happened in the same block of Glenwood Road where two DeKalb officers were shot and killed nearly seven years ago.
