(CNN) Two police officers in Georgia are on administrative leave after shooting at five minors during a vehicle stop Saturday morning.

The officers are on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, a news release from Waycross Police said. Waycross is in south Georgia.

No one was injured or killed in the shooting, but a 16-year-old was treated by EMS for minor injuries after an altercation with officers, a release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.

It is just one of four officer-involved shootings since Friday night being investigated by the GBI, news releases on the GBI website show.

The investigations into all three incidents, which occurred in John's Creek, Norcross and Screven County, are ongoing, according to the GBI.

Did the officers have body cameras or dash cam footage to back their story, or did those spontaneously malfunction before the incident?

Police Chief: Can you guy stop making us look bad until the protests die down?

Officers: Absolutely not.

So.....they were pulling the car over.....then they claim that the car was 'moving towards the officers'....so they shot at the kids running away from the car and they also shot at the kids in the car, apparently hitting quite low on a rear panel...

I'm sorry, what happened?
