As the situation developed, deputies learned that Allen had shot his mother. Deputies were able to remove the family member from the area and transport her to an ambulance that was located nearby for treatment. She is expected to survive her injuries.
Eventually, Allen surrendered to members of the Hall County Sheriff's Office's SWAT Team and was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. He is also expected to survive his injuries.
As of this point, Allen has been charged with aggravated assault for shooting his mother. Additional charges are expected against him.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office was assisted by crews from the Hall County Sheriff's Office, Jackson County EMS, West Jackson Fire, Jackson County Rescue, Georgia State Patrol, Braselton Police Department, Hall County EMS and the Jefferson Police Department.
After the GBI concludes its independent investigation of the incident, it will turn over its findings to the Jackson County District Attorney's Office for review.
