A Georgia sheriff's deputy died Monday from a gunshot wound she received when responding to a domestic dispute, according to authorities. CBS affiliate WGCL-TV reported the Jackson County Sheriff's Office identified the deputy as Lena Nicole Marshall.
"It is with a heavy heart that I advise you all that we lost Deputy Lena Marshall around 3:50 pm today," Sheriff Janis G. Mangum wrote on Facebook. "Please respect the privacy of Deputy Marshall's family at this difficult time.
Authorities said Marshall was shot Friday night after responding to a 911 call from a home about a domestic situation. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the homeowners sought to remove a woman from their home who didn't live there.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
