COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — The sheriff and others are looking for a man in Coweta County who opened fire on deputies early Monday morning.
Authorities were searching for Tom Hill around 4 a.m. following reports of a dispute in the 100 block of Boy Scout Road. Initially, deputies didn't see Hill; however, as they were searching the area, they discovered a vehicle reported stolen out of Carroll County.
It wasn't until they were walking back to the residence where they spotted Hill walking on a path in the woods.
"Tom Hill fired at least one shot at deputies before running away," the sheriff's office said.
They set up a perimeter to catch the suspect but have yet to find him again. Authorities said Hill is armed and dangerous with active warrants for aggravated assault out of Heard County. As such, they said he should not be approached.
Deputies intend to remain in the area until the suspect is in custody.
If you see Hill or know his location, authorities are asking that you call 911 or the Coweta County Sheriff's Office at 770-253-1502 ex 8275.
