DOUGLASVILLE, GA (AP) -- A deputy died after being shot in the head in a shooting that also killed another man.
Deputy Blake Gammill was airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center on Thursday night, where he was pronounced dead.
The incident began around 10:30 p.m. when authorities went to a home in Douglas County just south of Interstate 20 to serve a search and arrest warrant against Jimmy Bilbo, a former Douglas County deputy who was accused last year of child molestation.
The deputies were about to take Bilbo into custody when his stepfather appeared out of a back room and opened fire, hitting the deputy in the face. Authorities returned fire, killing Bilbo's stepfather, who was identified as Gerald Greene.
Douglas County District Attorney David McDade said Gammill had been on the force for eight years. He is survived by a wife and two young children.
Bilbo was not hurt in the shooting and was taken into custody.
Bilbo had been free on bond in the child molestation case. But deputies came to his home because he had been seen leaving a mall with a juvenile that afternoon, authorities said.
Prayers for Dep. Gammill's family.
That suspect was wanted by my agency btw. Good news.
Oh really? That is interesting. My folks live out of Hamilton, so I know almost all the guys in that story.
Maybe we can return the favor...still sucks to go through that.
Yes, it does. Should correct...know = having met on occasion.

Prayers.
Prayers esp seeing you are in the same line of work as the Officer who lost his life, and prayers for your continued safety.
When you guys run a check on a guy on a traffic stop do warrents go out nationwide or just for participating states.
If you can't share that info I understand. I think it should be Nationwide.
I listen to our lil town, Oregon Coast, scanner and like the fact that everything from A to Z comes up on a traffic per request check.
You guys have my total respect as you have to deal with some pretty sad human souls out there. You would have to be strong in your faith and virtues not to be sucked into the mindset of the disturbed sector of society you encounter.
God Bless and stay safe.
BTW Whose the the in utero baby one of yours?
Carolyn
That's a hop, skip and a jump from here. Prayers for all involved.

Prayers on the way!
