Our area has been designated a Health Hazard Zone. That would be a responsible decision anywhere else.

In Democrat California it means we are frozen until the people whose ineptitude caused this tragedy figure out a way to put the money to fix it in their pockets.

Prayers for the North Fulton SWAT officer who was shot in the line of duty this afternoon. 🙏🏽

Georgia: A man is dead and a North Fulton SWAT officer is injured after the two exchanged gunfire as police attempted to execute search and arrest warrants at a Roswell home Friday afternoon, officials said.

The shooting happened behind a house in the 500 block of Ansley Drive, police said. Roswell police Chief James Conroy said the SWAT unit was deployed because the suspect was wanted on multiple firearms-related charges and has “an extensive violent criminal history.”

The GBI confirmed the suspect, identified as 40-year-old Matthew Robert Taylor, had multiple warrants out for his arrest.

According to Conroy’s account of the incident, officers surrounded the house before approaching the front entrance. After they knocked on the door, a man with a handgun ran out of the back of the house. He immediately encountered a SWAT officer and fired two shots into the officer’s chest, Conroy said.

The officer returned fire, hitting and killing Taylor, the GBI said. Officials have not publicly identified the injured officer.

Because the SWAT officer was wearing a ballistic vest, he survived the shooting, Conroy said. However, the officer was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries caused by shrapnel. He is expected to make a full recovery, police said.
