Georgia Bureau of investigations Special Agent J.T. Ricketson told reporters a multi-jurisdiction drug task force knocked on the door of a home three times. When no one answered, they went inside, and someone in the home started firing at the officers, he said.
They returned fire and hit the person who shot at them, Ricketson said.
Both officers were taken to a hospital.
Their conditions and that of the suspect weren’t immediately available.
Police said there was more than one person inside the home. Ricketson said the task force was working to collect weapons inside.
Update 2:
2 Georgia Police Officers Shot, Wounded Serving Warrant
Two central Georgia police officers were shot and wounded early Monday while serving a search warrant in Crawford County, an investigator said.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge J.T. Ricketson said a multi-jurisdiction drug task force went around 2:30 a.m. Monday to a home on state Highway 42. Byron officers knocked on the door and announced themselves, but no one answered.
"They knocked on the back door and announced their presence and that they were performing a search warrant," Ricketson said.
"No one responded so they gained entry by going through the back door. As the officers were entering inside the residence an occupant inside the residence fired at least one round. It may be more," he said.
The officers returned fire, and the suspect was killed, he said.
"These officers returned fire after they were fired upon. I don't know how many rounds they fired. We will be determining that," he said. "One subject was struck and he is actually deceased."
The two officers, who both work at the Byron police department, were taken to a hospital in Macon, he said. One was treated and released and the other was in surgery Monday morning, Ricketson said. He described the injuries as "serious but not life threatening."
Ricketson described the suspect who was killed as a 35-year-old white man, who is believed to have been the subject of the search warrant. The man's girlfriend and an infant about one month old were also in the house at the time of the shooting but neither was harmed, he said.
GBI agents have locked down the scene and were securing search warrants. The names of the suspect and the officers were not released.
Ricketson said the officers are part of the Peach County Drug Task Force that includes officers from Peach and Crawford Counties, Byron and Fort Valley.
The shooting comes at what has been a dangerous time for law enforcement officers in Georgia. At least seven Georgia law enforcement officers have been killed by gunmen in the line of duty this year.
Most recently, two police officers were shot responding to a domestic dispute call at an apartment in rural Americus last weekend. Americus Officer Nicholas Smarr died Wednesday and fellow officer and lifelong friend Jody Smith died the following day. The suspected gunman was found later — apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound — inside a home where he was hiding.

Giants seem to have they number. It's gonna be interesting if they get into the playoffs. This just seem like the type of year that anybody can sneak in and snatch the Lombardi. Maybe my Falcons can even get in there and snatch it. Probably not but a breh can only dream
