The deputy's wife, Karen Eames, 46, and son, Troy Eames, 21, were also shot inside the home and were taken to Upstate University Hospital. Troy Eames died later Monday and his mother was listed in critical condition, authorities said.
Authorities did not say who they believe fired the fatal shots. The sheriff's office spokesperson, Sgt. Kate Loveland, said the investigation was in the preliminary stages.
"This does not appear to be a random act of violence, and there is no threat to the public," Loveland said in a news release.
