A Georgia sheriff deputy died Friday from injuries sustained while serving a warrant, according to police.
Carroll County Sheriff Investigator Taylor Bristow was shot Tuesday while assisting a Georgia Bureau of Investigations investigation, according to a department Facebook post.
The deputies attempted to serve a warrant connected to a child sexual exploitation investigation when Christopher Bly, 40, shot Bristow and himself, according to the department. Bly was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators seized multiple electronic devices that contained child sexual abuse material from the scene, according to a GBI press release.
Bristow, 30, was flown to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta where he died.
Carroll County is located about 49 miles west of Atlanta, near the Alabama border.
"He served our community with unwavering passion and dedicated his life to protecting the citizens of Carroll County. We are deeply saddened and at a loss for words," The Carroll County Sheriff's Department said in a Friday Facebook post.
