DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A suspect is on the run after authorities say he killed his girlfriend before shooting several rounds into a DeKalb County Police officer. 

Police say 27-year-old Otis Walker fatally shot the woman around 12:30 a.m. Aug. 1 after a "domestic dispute between the boyfriend and girlfriend" escalated. Walker then reportedly shot Derek Nunn, a 3-year veteran with the DeKalb County Police Department, as they tried to approach the scene.
