Police say, Tyler Moore, 27, of Auburn, shot an investigator with the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office during some kind of road altercation on Auburn Road Friday night.
The investigator, whose name hasn’t been released, was shot once in the leg in his vehicle and was taken to the hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.
Police say the Moore drove away from the scene.
Surveillance camera video near the scene of the shooting helped investigators identify and locate the suspect’s vehicle at a home in Auburn where he lives with his family.
He wasn’t there when police showed up, but later turned himself in.
“They were in contact with family members at the home. We believe he was aware they were looking for him. We are thankful this came to a peaceful resolution and the turned himself in and he is facing charges for his crimes,” said Gwinnett County Police Department Sgt. Michele Pihera.
