Officer-Involved Shooting at South Georgia Elementary School Leaves One Dead
On September 25th, the Valdosta Police Department (VPD) responded to S.L. Mason Elementary School after an officer observed an armed man entering the campus; the man was later pronounced dead after officers discharged their firearms. The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, and their identities have not been released. The Lowndes County Coroner confirmed the man died on the elementary school’s campus from gunshot wounds. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) will conduct a further investigation, and no students or faculty were harmed, and the school was placed on lockdown.
