A DeKalb County police officer shot a 64-year-old man during a traffic stop early Wednesday morning, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The shooting happened just after 3 a.m. near Central Drive and Lancanshire Circle in Stone Mountain.

GBI officials said Rodney Moore, 64, of Stone Mountain, was pulled over by an officer who discovered he had an active arrest warrant. During the stop, Moore told the officer he had a gun, investigators said.
