Officer shoots suspected shoplifter at Home Depot in Riverdale, authorities say

Here is what we know.

RIVERDALE, Ga. — Investigators responded to an officer-involved shooting at a Home Depot in Riverdale. 

According to authorities, two Riverdale police officers responded around 11:20 a.m. to a possible theft at the store off Lamar Hutcheson Parkway.

When officers arrived, they got into some sort of "physical altercation" with the suspect, 42-year-old Terry Bradshaw, before he was able to break away, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. 

Investigators said Bradshaw ran to a pickup truck located in the parking lot and tried to drive away. That's when the second officer fired at him, hitting the 42-year-old, according to the GBI. He was transported to Atlanta Medical Center and is in serious condition. 

A woman was inside the car and was not hurt. She was taken in for questioning.

Officials say both officers were wearing body cameras, so the GBI is going through that footage, now, to take a look at what happened. The GBI continues to work the scene. 

This is the 46th officer-involved shooting that the GBI has been requested to investigate this year.
