NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Fulton County sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed, along with one of her brothers, in an off-duty incident in Newton County, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat confirms to Channel 2 Action News.

Labat said Deputy Shakeema Brown Jackson leaves behind a 17-month-old child.

Brown became a Deputy Sheriff just over a month ago.
