Local cops still on lookout for Athens shooting suspect

Tuesday, March 22. 2011
Jackson County law enforcement officials remain on the lookout for the suspect in the killing of one Athens policeman and the critical shooting of a second policeman.

The suspect, Jamie Hood of Winterville, allegedly shot and killed APD officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian and injured officer Tony Howard as the two searched for a suspect in an alleged kidnapping and carjacking that had occurred earlier in the day.

The shooting took place between Alps Drive and the Oconee River on the Atlanta Highway around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Hood's car was reportedly found Tuesday night in Clarke County.
