OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On June 1, 2025, Cherokee County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic violence call at a residence on Still Lake Drive. Outside, they located a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was treated on scene and transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in serious condition. A man remained inside the residence, refused to exit, and was reported to be armed. The Cherokee Multi-Agency SWAT team was activated, bringing a militarized multi-jurisdictional force to the scene.
Officers established a containment perimeter with armed positions and armored vehicles for cover. Negotiators attempted to establish contact for several hours using loudspeakers, while tactical units staged for a potential forced entry. After repeated attempts to secure surrender failed, SWAT escalated by deploying chemical irritants into the home capable of causing severe respiratory distress, intense burning of eyes and skin, and forced disorientation. The irritants were delivered to flush the man out and break resistance.
When no response was observed, SWAT deployed a camera-equipped drone into the residence to conduct an interior search under armed cover. The drone relayed live video to the command post, revealing the man inside with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Tactical officers entered to confirm the scene was secure. No body-worn camera or drone footage has been publicly released. The incident remains under review, and the man’s identity has not been disclosed.
