GBI investigating police-involved shooting that killed 1 in Brunswick
No officers were injured in the shooting, authorities say
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into a police-involved shooting that left one person dead Saturday night in the same jurisdiction where Ahmaud Arbery was killed earlier this year.
The bureau tweeted it was called to investigate a shooting in downtown Brunswick. Investigators taped off a large area and began bagging evidence, according to local reports.
The GBI said investigators were still gathering details, but noted no officers were injured in the shooting.

Officials said more information about the shooting is expected to be released Sunday.
