"Moffatt’s parents were aware of the outstanding warrant and had contacted DCS reporting that Moffatt was behaving erratically," according to a GBI statement. "Preliminary information indicates that during the arrest, an altercation ensued and Moffatt was shot multiple times by two DCS officers.

Moffatt was transported to Kennestone Hospital where he is being treated and is listed in serious condition. The officers were not injured during the incident.
