How they died
Deadly force
A chase began about 3:30 a.m. when a state trooper allegedly clocked a 2015 Nissan Sentra going 111 mph on I-20. The trooper pulled the car over, but it took off again. The trooper reportedly disabled the Sentra, but the driver got control of the other again and sped away. The passenger used a rifle to shoot the trooper's car, disabling it. Other police joined the chase as it crossed into Carroll County and traveled through Carrollton and Villa Rica, continuing until the Nissan crashed in Villa Rica. Both men ran from the other. In two separate instances of gunfire, first at 5 a.m. and then at 5:30 a.m., the men shot at the officers, and two officers Gordy and Repetto were injured, and Pier Shelton was killed.
