According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a sheriff’s deputy in Atlanta, Georgia, shot and killed a man who broke into his home just before midnight Saturday.
The Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy had just finished work when he received a notification from his Ring doorbell camera showing the intruder breaking into his home.
When the deputy arrived at his home in south Atlanta, he saw the intruder walking away with tools and other items. An investigation later revealed that the items had been stolen from the MP’s home and that a back door had been broken into.
The intruder stepped off a gravel road into a forest where he got into an altercation with the deputy, who shot him, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
