A Ma Maniére’s Atlanta location was targeted in a burglary attempt on May 5 around 6 a.m. EST, before the store’s opening, police said.
According to reports, the suspects tried to enter from the back of the store by force, using a sledgehammer through the store’s cinder block walls.
Officers responded to the call when the boutique’s security guard arrived and shot one of the officers at the scene, police said.
The security guard has been detained and is in question, according to Atlanta Police Department Asst. Chief Darin Schierbaum. The officer, a four-year veteran of APD, is in “good spirits,” reports 11Alive.
The burglary suspects are still at large, and the investigation is ongoing.
A Ma Maniére has temporarily closed its Atlanta location. The boutique has also announced that it will extend its in-store raffle process for the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 2 collection. Initially intended for May 13, the online release has been delayed indefinitely.
