ATHENS, GEORGIA (BNO NEWS) -- A suspected cop killer took at least nine hostages in a neighborhood of Athens, Georgia on Friday afternoon, local media reported.

WGCL-TV and WSB-TV both reported that Jamie Hood, 33, had taken at least nine hostages at a residential building north of downtown Athens, a unified city-county in the northeastern part of Georgia. A baby is among the hostages.

Hood was being sought in connection with the fatal shooting of Senior Police Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian on Tuesday. Another officer was injured.

Scores of police units have surrounded the building in the Athens neighborhood and negotiations with Hood are underway.
