We will release additional information, including the names of the fallen deputies, as it becomes available.
The two were attempting to issue a warrant near Marietta for a failure to appear on a theft by deception charge when they were ambushed.
“The deputies made an attempt at the home– knocked on the door, rang the doorbell,” said Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens.
