Dr. Jeffrey Salomone, one of the attending trauma surgeons at Grady Memorial Hospital, said the mortally wounded deputy was brought into the hospital at 9:24 a.m. with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.

“He had no vital signs when he arrived here, and despite our resuscitative efforts, he was pronounced dead at about 9:34,” Salomone said. “About that time, a second Fulton County sheriff’s deputy arrived.”

The second deputy, Salomone said, “appeared to have a single gunshot wound to the head.”

Salomone said the bullet did not enter the deputy’s skull.

“She has a small bruise on her brain and some fractures around her face,” the doctor said. “It appears that after being shot, the deputy perhaps fell to the ground, receiving some of those fractures to her head.”

He said that while that deputy is in critical condition, “she is expected to survive the injuries.”
