The GBI said when officers got to the scene, they approached the two teens and an officer took a gun out of a teenage boy’s waistband.
When another officer saw an object in the girl’s waistband, which they identified as a gun, they ordered her to drop it, GBI said.
Instead, GBI said “the girl raised her shirt, and a gun was visible. The girl reached for the gun and began to draw it from her waistband. The officer fired their weapon, hitting the teenage girl.”
The girl was taken to a hospital for treatment and is stable and the boy was detained at the DeKalb County Regional Youth Detention Center, GBI said.
Neither teen was identified.
