() – A shooting suspect out of Jenkins County is in custody after a chase across county lines into Burke County, Monday afternoon.

Around 4 p.m., Georgia State Troopers spotted a vehicle matching the description of one driven by a male shooting suspect in Jenkins County, traveling on US 25.

The vehicle began to flee on Winthrope Avenue after Troopers attempted a traffic stop. A PIT maneuver was attempted to end the chase, causing the vehicle to stop at an intersection.

Jenkins County Deputies pursued the suspect into Burke County, where Burke County Deputies arrived to assist.

The suspect’s identity has not yet been released. No word yet on charges.
