Authorities say an undercover police officer shot and injured a man in Atlanta after a collision.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says an off-duty Fulton County police officer responded to a report of a theft at a T-Mobile store Wednesday in Morrow, just south of Atlanta.
The agency says the officer, driving his personal vehicle, followed as a man drove away from the store. The officer called 911 while continuing to follow as the man crossed into Atlanta.

The man was taken to a hospital. The off-duty officer suffered minor injuries.
