Gunfire
Sergeant Marc McIntyre was shot and killed in an ambush while responding to a domestic disturbance call on Vineyard Road, near Deason Street, in Griffin.
He and another deputy were walking across the home's yard when a male subject opened fire with a shotgun from an upstairs window. Sergeant McIntyre was killed, and the other deputy was wounded. Other responding deputies were able to rescue Sergeant McIntyre from the front yard. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The man barricaded himself inside the home for several hours. He was eventually taken into custody by members of a regional SWAT team. The man continued to threaten deputies as he was removed from the scene.
Sergeant McIntyre was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Spalding County Sheriff's Office for over 11 years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sergeant McIntyre gave the Spalding County Sheriff's Office 11 years.
Thank you for your service to the Griffin community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
