UPDATE: Man involved in officer-involved shooting arrested

HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — Police have captured a man who they say charged at two Henry County officers with his car, prompting the officers to fire shots at him.

Joseph Moore was arrested Saturday afternoon after a six-hour manhunt.

The Henry County Police Department requested the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's assistance after the officer involved shooting around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

The GBI said a HCPD officer initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 75 Saturday before Moore fled the scene.

Officers chased Moore to a cul-de-sac on Autumn Lake Drive in McDonough, where the car was stopped. Moore then drove toward the officers, who fired shots, according to the release.

Channel 2's Lauren Pozen was on the scene as the GBI continued to gather evidence.

Police found Moore's car less than a mile away on Head Lane, but the driver was gone.

As is customary with officer-involved shootings, the GBI will continue its own investigation.
