Cobb police shoot man who pulled gun on officers

Cobb County police are investigating how a loud music complaint led to an officer-involved shooting in unincorporated Marietta.

According to investigators, police were called to the Hillcrest Mobile Home Park on Atlanta Road on a noise complaint around 1:30 a.m. Monday

When officers arrived, they asked the 37-year-old homeowner to turn down his music. After refusing their orders, police say he pulled out a gun and began shooting at the officers.

The officers returned fire and struck the man at least once, investigators said.

The man received medical attention on the scene and was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital alive. His condition is unknown.

The officers involved in the shooting were placed on routine administrative leave.

We're talking with authorities about the shooting and will have a live report on Channel 2 Action News at Noon.
