The investigation shows that BCSO deputies were on patrol when they located a vehicle driven by a male suspect, identified as Larry Steven Grogan, of Danielsville, GA, age 49, of an ongoing homicide investigation.  A vehicle chase began and ended in Grogan leaving the roadway along GA Highway 51, near its intersection with Payne Road.  Grogan got out of the vehicle and fired a rifle at two deputies.  The two deputies returned fire, injuring Grogan.  He was taken to a local area hospital for treatment.  The two deputies were not injured.

There are several pending charges against Grogan.

The GBI will conduct a complete and thorough investigation and provide it to the Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney for review.
