Dramatic video released from Troup County Sheriff’s Office shows a shootout between a deputy and a suspect in Troup County. The shooting happened Monday afternoon as the deputy was performing a welfare check at the suspect’s home on Jackson Street. Officers said the man’s father had called in a report that his adult son was in the midst of a mental health episode. Deputy Michael Hockett’s dash camera was running as he responded to the scene. In the video, Hockett is heard yelling at the suspect, “Drop the gun now!†Moments later he’s seen running away as the armed suspect chases him. Hockett jumps a fence and the suspect begins firing at him. Hockett returns fire, hitting the suspect in the shoulder. Hockett was also hit in his forehead, elbow and waist by pellets from a shotgun blast during the shootout. Both Hockett and Edmondson survived.
“I’m thankful that the Lord seen me through it. I’ve replayed it in my head and I know in my heart that I did everything I could to do the best I could with the situation I’d been placed in,†Hockett said. Edmondson’s mother witnessed part of the shootout and frantically called 911. “I need an ambulance. Please hurry. My son’s been shot,†she said. “There was a deputy here we had just came in. and I don’t know if the deputy was shot or not. I don’t know what’s going on but I’m scared to death.” She was then kept in the home for six hours during the standoff. “He’s at the house but he has a gun. I’m scared,†she told the dispatcher. “I’m trying to get away from him.†Edmondson eventually surrendered and is now facing several charges, including attempted murder, aggravated assault and false imprisonment.

first shots at 10:45 starts gun fight after 12:30… your welcome.
he fired at the car….why wasnt he smoked immediately?
Did the cop even pull his gun out? Talk about white privilege! A black person woulda been smoked the second we put a hand in pocket smh
Is there a 2nd part?
So dragged out almost forgot what I'm watching. 😆
but but he’s a good ol country boy
When cops are alone they are pussy
So the cop trespassing on private property, and the landowner defended his property? How is the cop not in the wrong on this?
ðŸ™
That cop was way too nice. Why the fuck didnt he light dude up??
Where's the partner?
Why did he leave the scene though?
Exactly why Officers shoot to kill! Thank law enforcement. I'm tired of Society sewer rats bashing them.
Wtf where’s the part where they blast his bitch ass
Gets shot and casually drives the speed limit to where he's going.
Michael should get a job that suits him.
".. the graveyard and baseball field.." Home team got a great advantage knowing where all the headstones are, all the visitors just keep falling over them..
This is what happens when cops don’t shoot mfs w a gun off the bat and that’s why I don’t blame em when they do
10:45 the cop is stupid for not hosing him down just on the approach with the gun
When the officer came running to the gate. It was like Jason Vorhes following him.
This channel does a great job of discrediting the corrupt lame stream media
I don’t know why but it is kinda satisfying watching police run in fear 😂
Bro WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?? HE just let dude get the up and on him? But THEY SHOOT FIRST WHEN IT COMES TO US. THATS THAT SHIT I DONT LIKE.
Sheriff’s officer responded to call to do a well check. In Georgia, NO mental health, EMS, paramedic is going to approach without officers clearing the area of any threat. Good friend, nurse & mental health professional tried to help her daughter who had stopped taking her meds. The daughter stabbed her mother repeatedly with a steak knife in the chest, then hid the knife in her school backpack. The Dad (husband) called 911 frantically telling the operator that is daughter stabbed his wife & blood was gushing from her chest. Daughter in house with knife in unknown location. EMS, police responded but HAD to secure the house and make sure 18 year old daughter did not have a weapon. My friend, nurse and mental health professional died at the hospital just a short time after arrival. Daughter said “I didn’t mean to kill my mom!â€
Trespassing on private property boy….
I don't know any LEOs that wouldn't get on the. 12 guage or the M4 in this situation.
This video is such a gem. 7 minutes of walking sfx a shootout then him driving away following the traffic laws. Wow…just wow 10/10
this cop is crap. 1st he runs like a bird, 2nd he is hurt and doesnt use sirens cause he is affraid of the other guy, and 3rd he is paranoid he is following him… who will follow the cop?!?! YOU ARE THE OFFICER, officer!
