The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, or GBI, is investigating an officer-involved shooting after a man wielding a gun in a suburban neighborhood was shot on Sunday.

Police responded to reports of a man walking around a Mableton, Georgia neighborhood, while carrying a long gun for several hours, at about 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 1.

Jose Razo allegedly walked around a neighborhood with a rifle, failed to comply when police ordered him to put his weapon down and was shot, though not killed. Now the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the matter, at the request of the Cobb County Police Department.
