UPDATE: Carroll County Deputy out of surgery; moved to ICU after being shot in Tuesday shooting

CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — A Carroll County deputy is out of surgery and has been moved into the ICU after he was shot Tuesday morning while executing a search warrant.

The Sheriff’s Office has identified the injured deputy as Taylor Bristow. The 30 year old officer has been with the department for six years.

The shooting happened on Don Rich Drive at around 8:30 a.m.

Deputies were working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to execute a search warrant when someone started shooting.

Deputy Bristow was shot in the face and flown to Grady Memorial Hospital on Tuesday morning.

The GBI said they are not considering the incident an officer-involved shooting, but did not say why.

The Carroll County Sheriff is headed to the hospital to support the deputy’s family.

Ashley Husley, spokeswoman for Carroll County, said, “Please keep Investigator Taylor Bristow in your prayers. (...) We appreciate your support during this time and will provide updates as they become available.”

This is the second Georgia deputy shot in the line of duty in a matter of days. Paulding County deputy Brandon Cunningham, 30, was shot and killed Saturday night while responding to a domestic violence call. The suspect in that shooting, Jimmy Atkins, shot and killed himself.
