Two Georgia deputies slain in ambush attack, sheriff asks for prayers

Two deputies with the Cobb County sheriff's office in Georgia were killed Thursday night in what police are calling an ambush shooting.

Sheriff Craig D. Owens told reporters the deputies were serving a warrant when they were ambushed, WSB-TV reported.

Two suspects were taken into custody after a nearly four-hour standoff with police. Cobb County court officials identified the suspects as Christopher Cook and Christopher Golden. They will make their first appearance in court at 4 p.m. on Friday.

The names of the murdered deputies have not been released.

“What I can tell you in this moment is this -- in plain terms it is simple, my two deputies were ambushed this evening and killed,” Owens said Thursday. “The two suspects we believe are the perpetrators of this crime are currently in custody and are being held at the Cobb County Police Department for questioning.”

Shortly after 7:45 p.m. Thursday, Cobb County deputies visited a home in an area west of Marietta to serve a warrant for failure to appear by theft or deception, Owens said. ...............

Remarkable restraint exercised somewhere, there.

According to the warrant, in February of this year, Cook stole cash, a bracelet, ring and necklace from the victim, who was listed as Brian Golden, He then sold the items at a pawn shop, according to the warrant. It’s unclear if Brian Golden is related to the second suspect, Christopher Golden.

A previous indictment obtained by Channel 2 Action News shows that Cook was also arrested in 2012 for breaking into two Cobb County churches with the intent to steal property, stealing two guns from another victim and breaking into his mother’s home, where he stole an iPad, a television and a computer. He was also charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Somehow you knew drugs were involved. Stealing from a church and his own mother... yep, class acts.

Agreed, apparently not all cops are the murderous bastards some make them out to be.

Yeah, too restrained.  These two should have off'ed just to save the GA taxpayers a few bucks.

This happened off Sandy Plains Road near Wigley.  This is not a bad area at all.

COBB COUNTY, Ga — The family of one of the Cobb County Sheriff’s deputies killed in the line of duty on Thursday, shared their sorrow and memories with Channel 2.

The mother and sister of sheriff’s deputy Jon Koleski, told Channel 2 his killing leaves a hole in their family that will never be filled.

“I was in complete shock. ... Even so many hours later, it still doesn’t feel real or solid yet,” said Koleski’s sister, Melissa Marchetti.

Koleski’s family wants the world to know about the man they lost.

“I’m heartbroken but at the same time, I’m so proud of him because he’s like the pure definition of a hero in so many different ways, to his siblings, to his mother, to his country, to his wife, to his state. So, just an all-around hero. There’s no better way to describe him,” said Marchetti.

Before joining the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, his family told Channel 2 that Koleski served in the Army, serving three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Likely crackheads.

Unfortunately for all involved, now they get to get clean and face the music.
