Two individuals were injured Tuesday night in Calhoun after being shot by a federal agent during an attempted traffic stop, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) confirmed. The incident occurred around 11:40 p.m. on April 29, 2025, on Outlet Mall Road, according to a GBI news release issued at the request of the Calhoun Police Department. The preliminary investigation indicates that local, state, and federal drug task force agents were conducting a drug investigation involving multiple agencies. During the operation, officers attempted to stop a vehicle occupied by a male driver and a female passenger. According to the GBI, the driver allegedly drove the vehicle toward several officers attempting to make an arrest. In response, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent discharged their firearm, striking both occupants of the vehicle. The male driver and the female passenger were transported to local hospitals. The female occupant was airlifted via Life Force helicopter. No officers were injured during the incident. The GBI is conducting an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting. Upon completion, the case will be handed over to Gordon County District Attorney Erle Newton III for review. As of Thursday morning, authorities have not released the names of the individuals who were shot. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
