[Costello:] A massive man hunt now underway in Georgia for a suspect who shot two police officers, and then fled the scene. Authorities are on the lookout for this man. His name is Minquel Lembrick. He's accused of opening fire on police following a domestic dispute call. CNN's Victor Blackwell is following the story, good morning.
[Victor Blackwell, Cnn Correspondent:] Carol, good morning to you. Let me get you the very latest that just came in from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. The reward for information leading up to the arrest of this accused cop killer has more than doubled -overnight. Now up to $70,000, more than 50 local and state officers and investigators have swarmed this small community of Americus, Georgia, about 140 miles South of Atlanta. We are told that this man on your screen, Minquel Lembrick 32 years old, is said to be armed and dangerous. He went into hiding about 24 hours ago after investigators say he shot two police officers, killing one. Here's what we know. Officer Nicholas Smarr with the Americus Police Department and Officer Jody Smith with the Georgia Southwestern State University Campus Police Department responded to a call about a domestic dispute at an apartment complex roughly 24 hours ago. They encountered Lembrick, when officers say, he started firing shots. Smith is now in very critical condition at a hospital but we are told that Smarr died soon after the shooting. Here's what we know about Lembrick. This is from the Americus Police Chief, Mark Scott, who says that Lembrick was someone who was known to his office and to the officers there. But they did not know when they responded to this call that he was the suspect. That he had open warrants relating to kidnapping charges and other charges relating to a previous domestic dispute. There was a woman and a child who were found at that location. They are safe. But this is a real concern for Georgia's Southwestern State, which is so close to where this happened. The shooting did not happen on campus but there was a lockdown at the university, at local grade schools. The university is now, they finished with their finals yesterday and we know that the grade schools are open there but with extra security. When it comes to the question of where could this suspect be. The police chief there says, that he doesn't know where he could be, but they are getting tips in. They are checking those locations. So this manhunt is broad and growing and again, in just the last few moments, we learned that information leading up to that arrest, up to $70,000. Carol?
