LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- A person was shot during an officer-involved shooting Thursday.
Gwinnett County Police said the shooting happened in the 1900 block of Prospect Road in Lawrenceville.
According to an early information, detectives with the department's Gang Unit were on their way to the area for possible gang activity.
When officers got there, they heard yelling coming from the back of a home. Officers followed the source of the yelling through a wooded area onto another property off Alpha Drive, directly behind the home.
As officers got closer, they heard at least one gunshot. That's where they found 27-year-old Andrew Joseph Allen on the back deck of the home, arguing with another resident.
Police said Allen pointed his gun toward the officers. One officer fired and hit Allen in the arm. No officers were injured.
Allen was taken into custody and transported to Gwinnett Medical Center where he was treated and released. He was charged by the GBI with burglary and aggravated assault on a police officer.
