Georgia deputy shoots motorcyclist following pursuit, authorities say

ATLANTA — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating after Hall County deputies shot a motorcyclist after a pursuit and crash Saturday night, according to authorities.

A deputy tried to stop a motorcycle near McEver Road around 9:30 p.m. for speeding, the sheriff’s office said.

The driver — later identified as 37-year-old Marshall Anthony Hooper of Buford — did not stop, and a short pursuit ensued, the GBI said in a news release. The motorcycle eventually crashed, and deputies began giving Hooper commands in an attempt to detain him. But he ignored them, and a deputy shot him.
