Shortly before 12.30 pm today, ACCPD officers responded to the 1000 block of Macon Hwy for a report of a man who was armed with a knife, covered in blood, and acting erratically.
Upon arrival, officers Officer Charles Bidinger and Officer David Harrison encountered the man, 23-year-old Aaron Hong of Athens, who was still armed with the knife. Officers gave numerous commands for the man to drop the knife. However, he disregarded these commands and continued to advance on the officers.
Officers retreated as the man advanced with a knife in hand, and at one point during the encounter, the man charged at an officer. Two officers fired several rounds at the man.
He was treated at the scene by paramedics but succumbed to his wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
In accordance with ACCPD policy, the GBI was asked to investigate this officer involved shooting. Also in accordance with ACCPD policy, the involved officers have been placed on
administrative leave.
