  "account": "On Sunday evening, November 1, two DeKalb County police officers were shot while responding to a domestic incident on Bouldercrest Road SE, according to police. The incident occurred around 6:30 pm EDT, near the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. DeKalb County Police Department Chief Greg Padrick informed that officers confronted a 26-year-old man, identified as Demontavious Soho. Soho opened fire on the officers at the door, prompting one officer to return fire. As a result, both officers were hit by gunfire and are currently in stable condition at Grady Hospital. Soho fled into a wooded area after the shooting and was subsequently apprehended, also sustaining a gunshot wound. He is now in stable condition at a hospital. Police utilized surveillance camera footage from the apartment complex to locate the suspect. Padrick expressed gratitude to law enforcement partners for apprehending a dangerous individual and appealed to the community to keep the injured officers in their thoughts and prayers during their recovery.",
