STORY 1: Sheriff: Man Who Fired Shots At Gwinnett Jail Had Earlier Run-In With Deputies

A man opened fire on deputies at the Gwinnett County Jail parking lot after earlier confrontations with law enforcement. No deputies were injured, but the shooter was wounded and taken to the hospital. The jail suspended new inmate intake and redirected traffic following the incident. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating, and the shooter's identity and motive remain undisclosed. The man had previous encounters with deputies earlier that day, displaying erratic behavior. Sheriff Keybo Taylor praised the quick response of deputies and local police, ensuring community safety.

STORY 2: Thieves Posing As Pet Owners Steal Dog In Duluth

Gwinnett County police are seeking public assistance to identify two suspects who stole a Shihpoo dog from the Sugarloaf Summit Apartments. On September 9, the dog, named Lucy, got loose and was found by a witness at the pool. The witness posted about the lost dog on the Ring app. Two women later claimed the dog, calling it "Coco," and left in a blue Cadillac SUV without a tag. The suspects are described as young Black females, one with braces. Police urge anyone with information to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300.
