An armed man who was the subject of a massive manhunt on Ga. 72 between Hull and Colbert was captured just before 1 a.m. Wednesday.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies from surrounding counties were in the area of Ga. 72 at Meadow Lane after an officer-involved shooting involving the Georgia State Patrol, according to a Facebook post from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

A black male ran on foot from troopers while firing an AK 47, the post reads. The trooper returned fire, but neither the trooper nor suspect was hit.

The incident remains under investigation and no further details are immediately available.
