Police outside Atlanta say they were shot at while responding to break-in at a gun store.

Marietta police Officer Brittany Wallace tells The Associated Press no injuries were reported and four suspects have been apprehended at the Deercreek Gunshop in Marietta on Tuesday morning.

Wallace said officers responding to a report of a burglary noticed movement on top of and inside the building, and soon apprehended two suspects. She said a third suspect inside the business fired on officers, who returned fire, but no one was hit by the gunshots. She said a fourth suspect came out of the business with his hands up.

Wallace said shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday that police were using an armored police vehicle to make entry into the business and make sure there was no one else inside.

    Where and when will it end??? These type of actions have to stop. We certainly don’t need a war in the U.S.
    Police Officer’s protect the public, putting their lives on the line everyday. Remember that each and everyone of them have family and loved ones. Please don’t destroy their lives with this crazy senseless action. GOD BLESS AMERICA

      Hilda, I’m sorry but the people that do these types of things could care less. If they that had killed all the officers they would be out celebrating with drugs and booze and bragging how tough they were.

    I agree with you about not needing a war inside the US. Police Officers are for helping the people but when I see a video of a man running and the police officer shoot him in the back saying he was in fear for his life… I wonder “who said that? – the one running — oh no — it was the police officer covering his self. It’s wrong and the system need to punish the wrongdoer whoever it is. I pray for the officers. Don’t want anything to happen to them but I don’t want them killing people for nothing either. These camera phones are good for showing the truth of what really happens. We need to put GOD back in America and stop all the evil deeds.

    Helen, I’m neither defending or condemning what happened. But we likely don’t have even close to the complete story. The person running may well have snapped off a couple shots at the officer. Which in my opinion changes everything. Putting my self in the officers place If some one shot at me I wouldn’t care if it too a handful of bullets to put them down. When you shoot at an officer you just lost all your right and gurantees.
