Officer fires shots while serving warrant at Chamblee motel

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called after at least one Lawrenceville police officer reportedly fired shots while trying to serve a warrant overnight in Chamblee. 

The shots were fired around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Quality Inn near Interstate 85's exit to Shallowford Road.

While officials have released limited details about the shooting, they tell FOX 5 that officers were serving a warrant at the motel overnight.

At some point during the police response, the situation escalated and at least one officer fired a shot.

Authorities have not said whether anyone was injured in the shooting and have not shared any information about whom the officers were looking for at the motel. They have confirmed that no officers were injured in the incident.
