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.
