(Reuters) – A former police
officer shot a Georgia county sheriff and his deputy when they
intervened in a domestic dispute in which three people were killed,
local media said on Monday.
Habersham County’s Joey Terrell and Deputy Bill Zigan had been called
out late on Sunday to a house in Clarkesville, northeastern Georgia,
where they had found a woman dead in the garage, the Atlanta Journal
Constitution (AJC) reported, citing the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.Neither men had life-threatening injuries, AJC said.
The woman in the garage has been
identified as the ex-wife of the gunman – a former police officer in
Gainesville, Florida – and he was also among the dead, local media said.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation could not immediately be reached for comment.
