'Armed and dangerous' suspect captured in Clayton County, 'shelter-in-place' lifted

The incident unfolded at a house on Tara Glynn Drive in the city of Hampton.

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A man who set off an "emergency shelter-in-place" after fleeing from a SWAT standoff in Clayton County is now in custody, police say.

As a result, Clayton County Police said the shelter in place has been lifted.

Around 4 p.m. on Sunday, officers were called to the home of 41-year-old Jeremiah Rose near Tara Glynn Drive who was said to be "experiencing a mental crisis," police said. 

They said Rose refused to come out of the home and was upset about several out-of-state warrants. A SWAT team was surrounding the home earlier and believed the suspect was barricaded inside.

Officers were told Rose has "several guns and a long gun" inside the home and he refused to come out.

Around 9 a.m. on Monday, police issued a warning, saying that Rose was "now on foot and is considered to be armed and dangerous."

Just after 10 a.m., the shelter-in-place was expanded to the area of Walden Landing Apartments, Madison Heights Apartments and the Home Depot in Lovejoy due to gunfire heard.
