The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, or GBI, is investigating an officer-involved shooting after a man wielding a gun in a suburban neighborhood was shot on Sunday.

Police responded to reports of a man walking around a Mableton, Georgia neighborhood, while carrying a long gun for several hours, at about 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 1.

Jose Razo allegedly walked around a neighborhood with a rifle, failed to comply when police ordered him to put his weapon down and was shot, though not killed. Now the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the matter, at the request of the Cobb County Police Department.

The man, later identified as Jose Razo, 35, of Mableton allegedly pointed his gun at several people as he walked around.

When members of the Cobb County Police Department arrived, they ordered Razo to drop the firearm, a press release read, but he did not comply.

During the interaction, police shot Razo, who then ran inside his home with the firearm.
