Man Wanted After Shooting At Georgia Troopers

Ira Troy Williams, 51, is wanted in connection with an officer-involved shooting in Grantville, Georgia, where he allegedly fired at Georgia State Patrol troopers during a high-speed chase on December 18, 2024. After being pulled over for a traffic stop, Williams sped away, leading to a pursuit where he shot at law enforcement, injuring a K-9 officer named Amor, who has since been treated and released. He was last seen fleeing into the woods near Highway 29 at Calico Loop, and authorities have described him as armed and dangerous, urging the public to report any sightings. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has issued arrest warrants for Williams for aggravated assault against a police officer and has involved U.S. Marshals in the search. Troopers executed multiple PIT maneuvers to stop Williams, who fired shots as he escaped on foot. Residents in the area have been advised to stay indoors and remain vigilant.
