OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

In the early morning hours of July 3, 2025, at approximately 1:10 a.m., Atlanta Police SWAT responded to a home on Burbank Drive SW in southwest Atlanta after a woman and a child escaped the residence and reported that a man inside was armed and barricaded. Officers quickly established a tight perimeter and initiated a full tactical response. The scene was militarized within minutes. Armored BearCat vehicles were positioned. High-intensity tactical lights illuminated the home and surrounding area, and loudspeakers were used to broadcast repeated commands to surrender.
SWAT bore down with pressure while tactical operators maintained positions and monitored movement using aerial drones and thermal imaging cameras. A ground-based tactical robot was deployed to recon the interior, providing live video feeds to command. Officers staged flashbang devices. During the standoff, SWAT maintained a constant presence, rotating sniper-observer teams and shield-equipped entry personnel at key access points.
By around 4:00 a.m., with concerns mounting for the safety of an 8-year-old child believed to still be inside, SWAT executed a forced entry using ballistic shields, tactical lighting, and coordinated breaching techniques. The child was found unharmed inside. In another room, officers located the barricaded man dead from a gunshot wound, with a firearm recovered in close proximity to the body. No officers discharged their weapons during the incident.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is leading a full review, collecting body-worn camera footage, tactical video feeds from drones and the robot, and forensic evidence from the interior. The man’s identity has not yet been released pending notification and investigative findings.
