Funeral services have been scheduled for a sheriff's deputy in Georgia who authorities say was shot by a National Guardsman who then killed himself on the side of a highway.
Officials in Augusta said a church service was set for Thursday for 47-year-old Richmond County sheriff's Deputy James D. Paugh.
Officials say 26-year-old Spc. Christopher Michael Hodges was firing gunshots at passing cars early Sunday moments before the off-duty deputy pulled over to investigate a suspicious car on the side of the road. Authorities say evidence shows that Hodges had fired 35 rounds from his M4 semiautomatic rifle.
