The GBI is investigating a shooting incident involving a Hall County deputy and 26-year-old Austin Cole Abel, who attempted to evade a traffic stop early Sunday morning on I-985. After Abel allegedly fired at the deputy, the suspect fled but subsequently crashed his vehicle into a ditch, leading to his arrest following a brief standoff. Neither the deputy nor Abel sustained serious injuries, and the GBI is examining the shooting while the sheriff's office investigates other aspects of the case.
