Officials: 3 dead, 2 officers wounded in shooting in Georgia

CLARKESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A former police officer fatally shot at least one person and wounded a sheriff and a deputy in an ambush Sunday at a home in northeastern Georgia, authorities said.

The suspect and another man also died, officials told news outlets. It was unclear whether the suspect shot himself or was killed by officers.

The officers were responding to a domestic violence incident around 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the home outside Clarkesville, Habersham County officials said in a statement. They found a woman dead in the garage, Rusty Andrews of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/1a2mE4e).

Officers went into the house to check for other victims, and "it appears they were ambushed," Andrews said.


Just another day in Georgia, the "guns everywhere" state where problems are solved the old fashioned way -- with a gun.
