A Georgia deputy was killed Saturday night in what officials are saying appeared to be an “ambush” as he was responding to a domestic dispute call.

Paulding County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Cunningham, 30, succumbed to injuries at a hospital Saturday following the incident in Hiram, Georgia, Sheriff Gary Gulledge told reporters, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

“He was a great deputy, a good young man,” the sheriff said.

Two deputies responded shortly before 6:15 p.m. on Saturday to a home along Foggy Creek Lane, where they were immediately met with gunfire as they opened their patrol car doors, the sheriff’s office said. Additional deputies arrived at the scene a short time later and were also met with gunfire coming from the home.

Cunningham was shot during the incident and was rushed to a local hospital, where he ultimately died.

“It appears our deputies were ambushed,” Paulding County Sheriff’s Major Ashley Henson told reporters.

Investigators learned a woman had left the home and returned before being found with a gunshot wound, the sheriff’s office said, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. She was transported to a hospital in critical but stable condition.

A SWAT team later entered the home and found the gunman dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to investigate the incident.

Several deputies in Florida stripped off their gear and dove into the pitch-black waters of a lake to rescue a woman who was trapped inside a sinking car that crashed earlier this month.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office on Friday released an edited video featuring officer-worn bodycam footage as deputies raced to pull the woman from the fully submerged vehicle in the early hours of Aug. 8.

“When a vehicle crashed into a lake, our deputies responded swiftly, knowing every second counted,” the sheriff’s office said.

When deputies arrived, they found a good Samaritan who was trying to help the trapped woman. But soon the car began to sink with the woman still inside.

“She can’t fit through the window,” one deputy can be heard saying. “The vehicle is sinking completely now.”

Without hesitation, deputies ripped off their bulletproof vests, dove into the dark waters and swam out to the middle of the lake where the car had disappeared beneath the surface, the video shows.

Deputies repeatedly went underwater to smash the windows of the car until they could pull the woman out, the sheriff’s office said.

It was unclear what caused the woman to crash into the lake.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says policy is the GOP’s key to the White House, and urges former President Trump to focus on that rather than his opponent.

“Donald Trump, President Trump, can win this election,” Graham said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “His policies are good for America. And if you have a policy debate for president, he wins. Donald Trump, the provocateur, the showman may not win this election.”

The response followed a question by host Kristen Welker on whether Trump should stop making personal remarks about Vice President Harris regarding characteristics like race and intelligence. 

“I’m looking for President Trump to show up in the last 80 days to define what he will do for our country, to fix broken borders, to lower inflation,” Graham continued. “The numbers that Americans are living with under Harris-Biden, a terrible 50% increase in gas prices, mortgage rates going through the roof, grocery costs are really high. That’s what I would focus on. Policy. Policy is the key to the White House.”

The GOP senator offered similar advice two weeks ago while on “Fox News Sunday.”

“So, here’s what I would say to President Trump. The problem I have with Kamala Harris is not her heritage, it’s her judgment,” Graham said. “She has been wrong about everything. When she tried to explain what she would do about inflation and an upcoming recession, it made no sense. It’s gibberish.”

Trump posted an image of Harris’ birth certificate on Truth Social after receiving a lot of criticism for remarks he made during a Q&A session at the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.

“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage,” the former president said during the Q&A. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now, she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know. Is she Indian or is she Black?”

Both Harris and Trump campaigned this weekend in battleground Pennsylvania. 

Harris is expected to formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination at the 2024 Democratic National Convention this week in Chicago.
