The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is seeking two men wanted in connection with a shootout with GBI agents during a drug investigation in Meriwether County.

GBI spokesman John Bankhead says two agents were at a residence with one suspect, 21-year-old Kanarzy Montez Prather, about 6 p.m. Wednesday when three armed, masked men came in and confronted the agents, exchanging an undetermined number of gunshots.  Neither of the two agents was wounded.  Bankhead says Prather and 22-year-old Robez Owens were arrested at the scene.  The GBI and local police are looking for 25-year-old Deotoni Kabah Brown and 21-year-old Darius Cordez Harris.

He says the four are each charged with two counts of aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery.
