Man who shot Georgia sheriff, deputy was an ex-cop:: Madhee Moseman:: P6

Questions swirled Monday about how a woman, a former police officer and another man were killed,while a sheriff and deputy suffered gunshot wounds. What authorities know is that a domestic violence call went horribly wrong at a home outside Clarkesville, Georgia, on Sunday evening. Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell and Deputy Bill Zigan responded to a domestic violence call and found a woman dead in the garage of the residence, said Rusty Andrews, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's deputy director of investigations.The two went inside the home, where "it appears that they were ambushed," Andrews said. Zigan was hit multiple times, and Terrell was shot in the arm, CNN affiliate WGCL reported.

The alleged shooter in the incident is former Gainesville, Georgia, police officer Anthony Giaquinta, Sutton said. Authorities didn't immediately say how the shooter died. Terrell "was asked to go there to help with the situation," Sutton said, though he didn't say why the sheriff was requested at the scene. At some point, Giaquinta fled and was found dead outside the home, along with another man, officials said. No information on the second man was immediately available, but police told local media that he, too, was found dead. On Sunday the sheriff responded to the call "probably because he knew the person who was involved in the incident" and because he thought he could calm down Giaquinta.
