ELLENWOOD, Ga -- Henry County Police are looking for a man impersonating one of their own. They say he pulled a gun on a woman after pulling her over for a traffic stop.

Megan Kelly said everything seemed normal when she was pulled over. The man who came up to her car was wearing uniform. His car had flashing red and blue lights, and it said "Henry Co" on the side of his car, a black Charger.

"As soon as he came up to the car he told me that it was stolen so I laughed because obviously it wasn't stolen," Kelly said.

McDONOUGH, Ga. -- A Henry County family remains on edge as police hunt for the three masked gunmen who terrorized the mom, dad and their three daughters during a home invasion.

11Alive spoke with the parents, Connie and Jervice Wolfe, on Wednesday, and they said it was their nine year old daughter, their youngest, who managed to call Henry County police while the gunmen were still in the house.

On the phone with 911 she frantically asks her father what to say. Her father can be heard telling her to tell the emergency operator that they are tied up. She then repeats those words illustrating a disturbing situation that this family was now forced to endure.

The three armed home invaders had kicked in the back door of the family's home in McDonough at about 4 a.m. wearing dark clothing and masks.
