A suspect linked to the murder of a Georgia police officer, and who was holding five hostages in an apartment throughout the afternoon, surrendered on television late last night. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the suspect, James Hood, told law enforcement officials that he would come out as live TV cameras were rolling so that he wouldn’t be harmed. Hood and the hostages walked outside and authorities apprehended the suspect. Hood had been the subject of a four-day manhunt in connection with the shooting and killing of Athens-Clarke County officer Elmer Christian.
