A Georgia man<\/a> shot a pair of police officers who were questioning him at a hotel after he invited them into his room on Sunday, killing one and seriously wounding the other, according to officials.<\/p>\n

The shooting suspect, identified as 35-year-old Kevin Andrews of Decatur, was also shot by one of the officers during the incident, Gwinnett County Police Chief J.D. McClure said during a news conference.<\/p>\n

Andrews was transported to a hospital for medical treatment and is expected to survive. He will be transferred to the county jail once he is released from the hospital.<\/p>\n

The shootout happened on Sunday morning near Stone Mountain, located about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The two officers responded to a Holiday Inn Express after a person in South Carolina reported that someone had fraudulently used their credit card at the hotel, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement. The agency said the officers spoke with the front desk clerk, who informed them that the room was being rented by Andrews.<\/p>\n

After learning that Andrews had an active warrant out of DeKalb County for failure to appear, the officers went to the hotel room to arrest him, according to the agency.<\/p>\n

McClure said the suspect greeted the officers at the door to his room and invited them inside.<\/p>\n

“They began discussing the scenario or the incident with him,” McClure said. “And at some point the suspect produced a handgun and, in an unprovoked attack, fired at our Gwinnett County police officers.”<\/p>\n

The chief identified the officers<\/a> as Pradeep Tamang and David Reed.<\/p>\n

Tamang, 25, died from his injuries at a hospital. He joined the police department in 2024.<\/p>\n

Reed was hospitalized in serious but stable condition on Sunday afternoon. He joined the department in 2015.<\/p>\n

Gov. Brian Kemp<\/a> said he was “mourning the loss of a brave officer” and “praying for the swift recovery of another.”<\/p>\n

“This is the latest reminder of the dangers law enforcement face on a daily basis, and we are grateful for every one that puts themselves in harm\u2019s way to protect their fellow Georgians,” Kemp said on X.<\/p>\n

Andrews has been charged with one count of malice murder, one count of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault upon a public safety officer and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which customarily handles shootings involving officers in the Peach State, is handling the investigation, which remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

The agency said the case will be handed over to the Gwinnett County District Attorney\u2019s Office for review once the probe is complete.<\/p>\n
