MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) Police have detained three people in the search for suspects after a police officer was shot and wounded in Atlanta's northwest suburbs.

Cobb County police say the shooting happened 2:30 a.m. Tuesday near Interstate 285 and Powers Ferry Road.

Cobb police spokesman Mike Bowman tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the officer was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
