An Atlanta police officer is recovering after being
wounded during a traffic stop that turned into a shooting.
Major Paul Guerrucci tells local media outlets that
during the early Monday traffic stop, two men exited their vehicle in southwest
Atlanta. Guerrucci says the passenger shot both the driver and a police officer
after the driver ran toward authorities.
Police say the passenger got into a nearby car and fled
the scene. It is unclear if he was hurt by any of the officers' shots.
The officer was struck in the arm. Both the officer and
the driver are recovering at a hospital.
Guerrucci says authorities believe the driver was fleeing
the passenger. He says the traffic stop occurred after someone called 911 to
say their friend was in trouble.
