A routine traffic stop over the suspected smell of marijuana ended in a shocking cycle of violence, leaving a Georgia police sergeant dead and his alleged killer also dead from what authorities described as a self-inflicted wound.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is leading an independent investigation into the rapidly escalating sequence of events involving Sgt. Chris Fisher of the Warm Springs Police Department and Jimmy Steverson. The tragedy has also drawn attention to the circumstances surrounding the initial arrest and the deadly risks officers face in the line of duty.
