"First and foremost, I understand the public's desire and their right to know exactly what happened regarding the officer-involved shooting case last week. Recently some of the parties involved in the incident have sought out media outlets in an effort to promote their version of events, even before the GBI's investigation is complete. While we would like nothing more than to provide full details on the case, the most important thing to keep in mind is that we must respect the investigative process. This is an active investigation which can be adversely affected by the premature release of case sensitive information. I can assure everyone that once the GBI has completed the investigation, it will be referred to the District Attorney's office for a full review and when it is legally appropriate, full details will be available to the public and the media. All of the deputies involved in the case have been returned to active duty."
