A Georgia sheriff's deputy was returning home from work over the weekend when received a notification from his security system that an intruder was breaking into his Atlanta home, leading to a fatal shooting.  

The home invasion and deadly shooting come amid rising crime rates in Atlanta, where 140 burglaries and 58 robberies were reported in December 2021, as well as nine murders and 11 rapes for the same time period. 

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that the Fulton County deputy, who has not been named as of Monday, arrived home on Springside Drive after midnight on Saturday to find the burglar walking away carrying tools and other items, the GBI said.
