According to the GBI, preliminary information shows that on Oct. 21 at about 6:10 p.m., Cobb County police officers responded to a call of a vehicle hit-and-run. The responding officer arrived on the scene and encountered 47-year-old Timothy Lyle Sheats.
Sheats told the officer he had been shot, but the officer did not see any visible injuries. The officer asked him to get into his patrol car for safety, but Sheats refused, started walking into traffic and attempted to enter a passing vehicle. The officer says he shocked Sheats with a taser to gain control of the situation and prevent him from running.
EMS later arrived on the scene to evaluate Sheats, who had become unresponsive. He was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
No officers were injured during the incident. The GBI says the investigation is active and ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be given to the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office for review.
