The Deputy performed a PIT maneuver on the vehicle and deployed K-9 Titan to assist in apprehending the driver. The driver opened fire in the direction of the Deputy and K-9 Titan.

K-9 Titan was struck multiple times and pronounced dead on the scene. The deputy was struck multiple times, suffering graze wounds to different locations. The deputy was transported to the hospital and released. He should make a full recovery.

The Deputy returned fire on the driver, striking him multiple times. The driver was pronounced dead on the scene.

“K-9 Titan has served the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office for over five years,” the sheriff’s office said. “During his time, Titan has successfully located several missing persons, successfully identified illegal narcotics as well as assisted in the successful apprehension of multiple offenders.”

This incident is being investigated by the GBI.
