A man wearing only boxer shorts and a ball cap was shot and killed after charging at a deputy with a stick and threatening him, the GBI said Tuesday.
At 3:22 p.m., two deputies were called to Spring Place in White, where the man had a large stick and was threatening another person, GBI spokeswoman Sherry Lang said in an emailed statement.
“The man charged one of the deputies with the stick and was yelling threats at the deputy,” Lang said. “The other deputy then shot the man.”
The man, whose name was not released, died at the scene, about 15 miles north of Cartersville, according to police. The deputies were not injured.
The GBI was called to the scene to conduct an investigation. Those findings will be turned over to the Bartow district attorney, Lang said.
