The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating a deadly shooting involving the Lavonia Police Department and Georgia State Patrol in northeast Georgia.

Authorities say the incident happened in Lavonia, about two hours from Atlanta, following a disturbance involving a city employee.

Police were first called to Roberts Street for reports that a city worker on a lawnmower had been assaulted. Officers spoke with those involved and initially cleared the scene.

However, about an hour later, officers were called back to the same location to de-escalate the situation again. This time, officials say the suspect resisted arrest, leading to a standoff that required a SWAT response.

According to investigators, state troopers later became involved, and the situation escalated to the use of deadly force. The suspect, who was later identified as 30-year-old Alan Joseph Chandler, was killed.

No officers were injured during the incident.

It is not known at this time if the suspect fired his weapon before being shot. It is also not known who fired the deadly shot.
