Police authorities are currently investigating a second shooting incident involving a Henry County police officer over the Labor Day weekend.

In a series of unusual events, the Henry County Police Department has been the subject of two separate shootings over the Labor Day weekend.

The first incident occurred on Sunday morning at around 8:45 a.m., outside a home on Brannan Road in the McDonough area. According to reports, a police officer shot an armed man identified as 38-year-old Greg Hamilton. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has been called in to investigate the incident, and they have confirmed that no officers were injured in the shooting.

The GBI has also been asked to investigate a separate incident that took place on Friday night at a Henry County home. In this incident, a police officer shot a minor who was allegedly going after his mother with a knife. The minor's age and current condition remain undisclosed.

The shooting involving Greg Hamilton occurred in response to a domestic call. Officers repeatedly told Hamilton to drop the shotgun he was holding, but he allegedly refused. After this, an officer shot Hamilton, who was then taken to an area hospital. The GBI has provided no further details about the shooting.

Similarly, the GBI has provided no further details about the incident on Friday night. Once the GBI's investigations are complete, the cases will be turned over to the Henry County District Attorney's Office for further action.

It's worth noting that as of 2025, the name of the District Attorney of Henry County, Georgia, is not explicitly stated in the search results.

Both incidents mark a concerning trend for the Henry County Police Department, and the community is left waiting for more information. The GBI's investigations are ongoing, and updates will be provided as they become available.
