SWAT officer Jonathan Caporaso injured during standoff with suspect at Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Atlanta
A SWAT officer with the Atlanta Police Department, Jonathan Caporaso, was injured during a standoff with an armed suspect at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Atlanta on Tuesday morning.
The incident began when police responded to a mental health emergency involving 70-year-old Jay Steven Berger, a resident of the hotel.
Berger became increasingly agitated and fired multiple shots from his apartment, injuring the officer.
A SWAT team was deployed to the scene and, after hours of negotiation, was able to apprehend Berger.
The officer was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released from the hospital.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is conducting an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting.
Berger is expected to face multiple charges, including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
