It is with profound sadness that we honor the life and service of Sergeant Chris Fisher of the Warm Springs Police Department (GA), who was tragically killed in the line of duty on September 1, 2026.
Sergeant Chris Fisher was shot and killed outside the Meriwether County Inn in Warm Springs, Georgia around 11:57 p.m.
Sergeant Fisher was sitting in his patrol vehicle after completing a traffic stop when a man pulled up next to him and fired into the patrol vehicle, killing Sergeant Fisher at the scene.
The man drove away, and a Blue Alert was issued. The suspect was transported to a South Carolina hospital, where he passed away after he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a traffic stop. The suspect is believed to be a man whom Sergeant Fisher arrested the week prior.
Sergeant Fisher had served with the Warm Springs Police Department for three months and previously served with the Meriwether County Sheriff’s Office, Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, and Heard County Sheriff’s Office. Survivors include his wife and two children. His father also served in law enforcement.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sergeant Fisher’s wife, children, family, friends, fellow officers, and all those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
Rest easy, Sergeant Fisher. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🙏
