The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in after an officer-involved shooting outside a Family Dollar store in northwest Atlanta on Monday evening.

According to Atlanta Police, officers responded just after 6 p.m. to the Family Dollar at 2045 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW for reports of a criminal trespass.

When officers arrived, they encountered a man inside the store. Investigators say the man — identified by authorities as 29-year-old Otis Ponder — ran from the scene before officers could question him.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the officer chased Ponder until he entered a storage shed behind a vacant home. The officer attempted to detain Ponder inside the shed, allegedly giving numerous verbal commands that he ignored. 

Preliminary findings show Ponder moved toward the officer, prompting her to fire her weapon. The suspect was hit and ran again before collapsing inside a nearby business along 2080 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW.

Emergency responders provided medical aid on scene before taking Ponder to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities say he is currently in stable condition. 

No officers were injured. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the case — a standard procedure following police shootings. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be handed over to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office for review.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has additional information is asked to contact the GBI or Atlanta Police.
