Sheriff George Dunham was shot and killed by a man he attempted to arrest on a warrant for beating his wife.
As Sheriff Dunham walked up to the man's front door, the man shot him in the face with a double-barreled shotgun.
The suspect had originally escaped to Florida after shooting Sheriff Dunham but returned to Georgia and was apprehended after assaulting the Deputy who had assisted Sheriff Dunham during the arrest attempt.
The next day the suspect was shot and killed when he opened fire on members of a posse who had him cornered in a swamp.
