Four deputies arrived and as they approached the home, authorities said Hart fired multiple rounds at them from a wooded area before retreating further into the woods. As the deputies looked for cover, they said that Hart moved through the woods and shot at them sporadically for 20 minutes.
A tactical team from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and was able to find Hart in a wooded area and take her into custody without incident around 11 p.m., according to deputies.
