The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office released a heavily edited video detailing an incident from October 7, where deputies exchanged gunfire with Emmanuel Patrick Bearden, 44, of Peachtree Corners, in their parking lot. The footage, captured from various security and body-worn cameras, illustrates Bearden's erratic behavior upon arriving at the jail with his young daughter, before he escalated to pulling a shotgun from his vehicle and engaging in a shootout with deputies. Bearden was hospitalized with critical injuries, and the GBI is conducting an independent investigation into the incident.
