ALBANY, GA -- An early morning burglary call turns into shots fired as police from two agencies respond.

Police say that early Tuesday morning, a burglary call came in for 506 Haley Street, Apt 6. The caller told dispatch that people were at the door and trying to make their way in.





Officers say that upon arrival, they heard a female screaming, and more officers arrived shortly soon after. Gunshots were heard after that.

One officer was struck and taken to the hospital with a grazed arm according to investigators.
