We just went through this in Lake County, Fl.
It’s happening way too often.
😢

If the job is so dangerous, why is it normal for it to happen the other way around and this so rare?…

[LucianaPelota]

GOD bless the Cunningham family and all the Paulding force.

My uncle was a Police officer and he always said that domestic violence calls were the most dangerous.

Pray 🙏 for Cunningham family and community, sheriff office. 😢 💔

[cornbread]

Wonder if they have had calls to that residence before wish someone had asked that question

[mandyriffle]

Prayers so sorry for your loss my heart breaks for you all

Ain't no way the sacrifice is worth it. Stop responding in person to domestic violence calls, send in drones or something. It doesn't seem to ever work out peacefully.

Once again, this is just heartbreaking beyond words. My sincere condolences to the Brandon Cunningham family and friends. Prayers are being sent up for his colleagues in blue for comfort and healing as they continue to protect their community. Just tragic and heartbreaking to lose a young man who wanted to serve and protect. May God lead and watch over the Cunningham family as they struggle to find their way through their immense loss and grief. May God bless each of you.

Prayers for Deputy Cunninghams family, friends, and colleagues 🙏🏾 He was so young😢

[eradicator]

At least we don't have to worry about the courts failing us again.

[Engineer]

Domestic violence calls are dangerous. Imagine any real man not defending his wife if she's about to be handcuffed and maybe roughed up by another man? That's gotta be tough.

[fraudexaminations]

This is so Tragic. Prayers being said for Deputy Cunningham's Family, as well for the Leo's in Paulding County who have lost a Brother.

[ScPulli]

Prayers to all LEO’s involved and their families from NC

[davidditter]

Why are there four different counties represented by their sheriffs? I don't get it
