After shooting the police men, Gordon fled on foot and hid for several hours in woodlands before being caught. 

He has been denied bail and faces two counts of felony intent of murder, two counts of aggravated assault on an officer and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

Lavonia Police Chief Bruce Carlisle called for an end to police shootings on Monday as he gave details of the incident. 

‘Yesterday was a terrible day for law enforcement in the state of Georgia. Four officers were shot. 

‘This has to end. I don’t know what the answer is but it has to end somewhere,’ he told Fox News.

The duo are just two of six Georgia police officers to have been shot in the line of duty in recent weeks.
