"They had been fantastic adult males, guys of character and integrity, family members adult males, loved by their family and young ones," Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens explained at a press conference.

The sheriff's office and the victims' family members are mourning the deaths.

"Our hearts are damaged right here in Cobb County," the sheriff reported. "It is a night time of heartache for two family members, two wives who have lost amazing husbands."

The deputies were being serving a warrant at the home at about 7:45 p.m. Thursday when they ended up attacked in what Owens explained as an ambush.

Owens mentioned the deputies knocked on the door and rang the doorbell but no a person answered. As the deputies have been returning to their patrol auto, a car drove up and a person from inside the motor vehicle opened fireplace on them.

It is unclear if the two suspects were in the car or truck when the shooting started.

The sheriff stated the deputies ended up ready to inform dispatchers of the shooting.

A standoff in between the suspects and regulation enforcement ensued, and Cook and Golden had been inevitably taken into custody.
