The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office (GA) have released body cam video of a deputy-involved shooting.
Deputies in Oconee County shot a man Wednesday night after they said he confronted them with a firearm. The suspect has been identified as John Martin. Oconee County deputies said a woman was assaulted at a home on Dials Mill Spur.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered Martin had locked himself inside a bedroom of the home. Deputies got a key to the door from the woman and were opening the door when they heard the hammer of a gun set. Martin raised the gun and one of the deputies then shot him in the chest. He was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries. He is expected to face charges once he is discharged from the hospital.
