The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has launched multiple independent investigations into separate officer-involved shootings in Georgia.

In late October 2026, the GBI began probing an incident in Woodstock where officers responded to a report of a suspicious person. Reports indicate that 38-year-old Nijm Scott threatened to shoot anyone who approached him before making a sudden movement, prompting officers to fire. Scott was hospitalized in stable condition, and two officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

On November 1, 2026, the GBI initiated another investigation following a shooting in Winterville. During a traffic stop involving Derrell Dukes, an officer reportedly fired a single shot toward a vehicle as it pulled away. A subsequent pursuit ended in a crash in Madison County. Dukes and a passenger sustained minor injuries and were later booked into jail on unrelated outstanding warrants.
