Deadly Officer-Involved Shooting in Midland Claims Suspect and Two Teen Stepsons

Midland, Harris County, GA – The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is probing a deadly officer-involved shooting in Midland, Georgia, at the request of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred on Monday, November 17, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., when deputies responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic dispute in the 100 block of Christopher’s Way. Upon arrival, deputies encountered 50-year-old Eric Grigsby, who reportedly exited the home armed with two guns and refused commands to drop them. Deputies fired at Grigsby, striking him.
