A victim has been rushed to the hospital after a shooting at a VA clinic in Georgia.
Jasper police responded to the VA clinic at around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and located a suspected shooter.
Officers located the suspect, who was shot during the confrontation.
One victim was found at the scene and airlifted to a hospital.
The Pickens County VA clinic offers services that include primary care and specialty health services, including laboratory, telehealth, and mental health, according to its website.
Jasper, a town of about 4,600 people, is about 60 miles north of downtown Atlanta. Signs on the highway through the town call it Georgia’s “First Mountain Town” as the Appalachian Mountains begin to come into view in that area along Georgia 400.
Photos from the local newspaper, the Pickens County Progress, showed more than a half-dozen law enforcement officers wearing tactical vests near a strip mall in the town.
