The Georgia sheriff’s deputy killed in an “ambulance” was a 30-year-old father of two.

A Georgia sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed Saturday night while responding to a call about a domestic dispute, officials said.

Paulding County Sheriff Gary Gulledge identified the deceased deputy as Brandon Cunningham, a 30-year-old father of two.

“Tonight, we lost a hero,” Gulledge said.

Cunningham and another deputy were “shot” while responding to a home in Hiram after receiving reports of a domestic dispute, Maj. Ashley Henson said during a news conference Saturday night.

“Unfortunately, it appears our deputies were ambushed,” Henson said, calling it an “extremely tragic situation.”

Upon arriving at the address, deputies were met with gunfire from the suspect inside the home, Henson said.

Cunningham was hit, while the other deputy dodged the fire.

The male suspect — who officials identified as 42-year-old James Samuel Atkins — was found dead at the scene of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A female victim at the scene, identified as 52-year-old Kim Thao Vu, was also shot and taken to the ICU. She was in stable condition as of Saturday night, officials said.

Cunningham was a father of two who had worked for the sheriff’s department since 2020.

His death marks the first officer killed in the line of duty in the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.

In a statement shared on Facebook, the department called it “one of the toughest in the history of the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.”

“Please pray for this family — both blood and blue,” Gulledge said during the news conference. “Everyone here is suffering, our entire staff is injured.”
