Investigators have not released the identity of the man who was killed after shooting a Statesboro police officer Wednesday night at Varsity Apartments, but neighbors identified him as Eric Pringle. Pringle was killed by Bulloch County Sheriff's Deputy Rey Rodriguez after he refused to relinquish his gun during a confrontation in some woods near the apartment complex minutes after he shot Officer Charles Brown. Witnesses said Pringle often sat alone on a picnic bench near his apartment, number 198, at Varsity Lodge.
