WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Multiple Warner Robins Police Department (WRPD) officers are on administrative leave while the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) investigates an officer-involved shooting Monday that left a 20-year-old man hospitalized.

According to a WRPD news release, officers responded to a report of a male suspect brandishing a firearm in a front yard on N. 6th Street just after 7 p.m.

Officers say when they arrived, the suspect, who has not been identified, discharged his weapon and tried to force entry into the home. At that time, police say, multiple shots were fired by the officers and the suspect. The suspect was shot and was taken to Houston Healthcare-Watson campus. Police did not reveal the suspect’s condition or how many officers fired shots and said future updates would be provided by the GBI.

According to the release, the officers involved were placed on administrative leave, in accordance with agency policy.
