As of Wednesday, Bristow is listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

“Many of you have been asking for updates on Investigator Bristow, and we truly appreciate your continued concern. Grady doctors are closely monitoring his condition, and we are currently in a holding pattern as we wait for further updates. Please continue to keep Investigator Bristow in your thoughts and prayers during this critical time,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement.

The office says it has received numerous calls about donations for Bristow, who recently got married, and his family. Only one official donation site has been set up through the West Georgia First Responders at this time.

“We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has reached out, brought food, and offered assistance to the family and to those who work alongside Investigator Bristow. Your generosity and support mean more than words can express,” the sheriff’s office said.
