Alleged Police Shooter Is Dead in Georgia: Officials

A gunman who allegedly killed one police officer and critically injured another in Georgia is dead after a 27-hour manhunt, officials said on Thursday.

The manhunt for Lembrick intensified Thursday morning with more than 200 law enforcement officers across agencies joining the search.
