Terrifying dashcam video of a police chase suspect spraying gunfire at cops while they were in pursuit has been released to the public. The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia recently released the chilling footage of the dangerous situation where three police officers were shot and the suspect was killed.
A Georgia State Patrol trooper clocked a vehicle speeding at 111 mph on Interstate 20 in Bremen, Georgia, at 3:30 a.m. on Monday. The officer pulled over the 2015 Nissan Sentra, but the driver sped off as the trooper approached the car. The state trooper went into a high-speed pursuit of the Sentra, and bumped the vehicle to disable it. When the officer attempted to bump the Sentra a second time, a passenger “leaned out of the front passenger window and began firing at the trooper with a rifle,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigations said in a news release.
The passenger shot CPS Sgt. Rob Holloway, who lost control of his patrol car and hit a utility pole.
The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the Carrollton Police Department, and the Villa Rica Police Department joined the pursuit near the border of Alabama.
The Sentra reportedly crashed near an elementary school in Villa Rica.
Corporal Jamison Troutt and Deputy Jay Repetto from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office drove up to the cruiser of Villa Rica officer Chase Gordy, who was also shot. As the officers got closer, a man appeared out of the dark woods and suddenly pulled out an AK-47. The man, later identified as Pier Shelton, unleashed a hail of bullets at the officers. Repetto was shot in the arm, and the police cruiser was disabled after being riddled with bullets.
“Corporal Troutt and Deputy Repetto returned fire and stopped the threat in a matter of seconds which allowed first responders to render aide to Officer Gordy who had been shot multiple times,” the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook. “If not for the heroic efforts of all Officers and agencies involved and to Corporal Troutt and Deputy Repetto for stopping the suspect, this incident could have resulted in more Officers being injured or killed and the suspects could have posed an even bigger threat to the public as this occurred in a residential area.”
Pier Shelton, 28, was fatally shot by law enforcement.

The second suspect in the Sentra was identified as Aaron Jajuan Shelton, the shooter’s brother. Aaron Shelton was apprehended a short time later, according to law enforcement. The 22-year-old was charged with five counts of aggravated assault and three counts of aggravated battery. He is being held at the Carroll County Jail, and was denied bond by the judge.
Sergeant Rob Holloway, who has been with the department since 2008, was flown to an Atlanta area hospital where he underwent surgery. He is in the ICU, but his condition is improving.
Officers Gordy and Repetto were transported to a hospital in the Atlanta area, and have since been released.
Carroll County Sheriff Terry Langley said the officers are expected to recover, and pointed out that the situation “could have been a lot worse.”
“Watching the video, it really sent chills up my spine,” Carroll County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey told WSB-TV.
Oh My God. I am sickened by these violent thugs who attack our police. Then they cry when police take defensive action. I want ALL these police officers transferred to my neighborhood because I RESPECT the service they perform. I want these officers protecting ME from these HORRIBLE THUGS.
Officer Shelton was fatally shot like 100 police officers in the first three months of 2021. Think about that while you’re getting drunk or methed up on Black Lives Matter riot videos.
Sorry the bad guy got shot by the cops. Totally justified. I’m so angry right now. Last weekend the new police chief where I live visited neighbors on my street. I heard what sounded like apologies for any “over aggressive” policing in the past. I almost crashed the meeting on the front porch. We WANT these police officers. We RESPECT them and OBEY their instructions. Don’t you DARE abolish the police in my neighborhood.
Problem: ” three police officers were shot.
Solution: “the suspect was killed.”
The danger for law enforcement is REAL and so is the Defenders of our Police set into motion by none other than the MAIN STREAM MEDIA AND THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY.
IT IS TIME WE DEMAND ACTION TO PROTECT “AMERICA AND AMERICANS” These animals are held responsible to uphold the law not destroy it! to make it easier for the Communists.
Where were the social workers? At the moment I am not too fond of the police but I do respect them. The police here are very conceded and feel that the commoner is beneath them. I understand they have a very dangerous job with no backup from the mayors or governors and also it is a thankless job. If one ordered me to obey their command I don’t see any reason not to.
Those who demand the defunding of law enforcement, need to watch this video… This is what these men face each day… they never know if they will go home alive….we need to fund them M O R E. Are you kidding??? God bless these brave hero’s…. what on earth do the democrats idiots calling to defund them think we would do without them????? They do not speak for me or anyone I know….the question is….who on earth DO those idiots speak for?
N E V E R. D E F U N D. THE POLICE/
It’s too bad people – reporters are especially ignorant, or appear to be – just can’t seem to discern the difference between “AK-47s” and other variants. Seeing the nomenclature “AK-47” in an article or headline is useless information, because it’s so often wrong. Just as an aside, if the video (above) is of an actual AK-47, it’s being fired in “semi-auto” mode. Full auto is much faster, and nearly impossible to fire as a single shot.
I agree with your comments and will respectfully submit the following…
The average US citizen is unlikely to own an AK-47 or any other assault type weapon that has fully automatic capability.
Fully automatic weapons are strictly controlled and require special permits to own them.
Further, they cannot be transferred without complying with federal regulations and approval to do so from the BATF.
Anybody that spews “defund the Police” should automatically be awarded an automatic $10,000 surcharge for any, AND ALL, 911 callouts.
To BLM,Antifa and whoever else this statement may apply to. You people were never taught to have respect normal people appreciate law enforcement For the job they do protecting us and putting their lives on the line every day you all need to remember one word when law enforcement is trying to do their job COMPLY!!!
Something else the Dem’s Ministry of Propaganda will bury – couple black thugs fleeing from cops and trying to kill the cops – not part of the liars narrative
It’s all about eliminating local and state police, and replacing them with a national police force. Have you ever heard of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany? Every day, we lose a little more freedom.
I personally know some of these officers and I would have put a bullet hole in the other suspect myself. Tired of these punks thinking they can attack our fellow law enforcement officers and get away with it. Let BLM come down here protesting in our neck of the woods and see what kind of welcome they get. It won’t be pretty. That guy deserved to get a dirt nap. No trial, no time in prison, no feeding off of the taxpayers, no three hots and a cot! GOOD RIDDANCE! Dump him in a lake and let the fish and turtles do the rest!
This is why the police need to be armed even if it’s a traffic stop. This one turned into a high speed chase, and shots fired. What could the police have done if they didn’t have weapons. It has been proposed in Minnesota that officers will have No weapons for traffic stops. Totally ridiculous.
Ever notice how hard it is to find a mugshot of a perpetrator when they are a member of a certain protected class?
So the ? Where does Black Lives Matter stand on this, Is this acceptable. This Doesn’t fit in their agenda so they could care less. Their silent on the murder rate in every Democrat city where the majority of people killed are black and brown and the actors are almost 99.9% the same color. Chicago is a war zone ! Patrise Khan of BLM fame didn’t buy a 1.4 million house there did she. Nope to unsafe. She bought a house in a predominantly white neighborhood in sunny California. The truth is the black community needs to take a good hard look at the issues in their own community. In jus 1 year in Chicago black men kill more black men then cops kill in all of America in a 10 year period. No one cares unless it fits the sick media’s agenda. Until they are willingly to take a truthful look at the problems in these communities of color its never going to change.
Pretty sure that is NOT an AK-47; sloppy, poor reporting! This type of lazy reporting only feeds into the MSM mass hysteria about scary “assault weapons”! I expect more from the Conservative Dispatch.
