SALACOA, Ga. (AP) - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released the identity of a man authorities say was holding a woman at gunpoint when he was fatally shot by a Cherokee County deputy.
News outlets report the GBI says 45-year-old Robert Mark Frady was killed Tuesday. The sheriff’s office says a deputy responding to a domestic dispute found Frady threatening his estranged wife.
It says Frady refused to drop the weapon and was shot. The woman was treated at a hospital for unrelated injuries.
