Georgia officer dies after being shot while serving warrant

A Georgia police officer was killed Friday and two sheriff’s deputies were injured while serving an arrest warrant, police said.

The incident occurred around 11 a.m. after two Henry County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at a residence in Locust Grove, about 40 miles southeast of Atlanta, Sheriff Keith McBrayer said during a news conference.

“It all happened inside the residence,” McBrayer said. “They talked with the individual and after about 10 minutes of talking with him realized they were going to be making an arrest, and they were going to have issues placing him in custody,” McBrayer said.
