The Douglas County deputy involved in the shooting of the five-year-old was allegedly in pursuit of a 25-year-old suspect, Rashauny Mike Palmer, who was fleeing on foot from authorities after escaping from the back of a police car. After a protracted chase Palmer allegedly attempted to carjack passengers at a local gas station. The deputy fired into the car that the suspect was attempting to take, and shot the child in the process, according to information from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The officer responded BY SHOOTING AT HIM.
