Police kill suspects in separate incidents

Sheriff's deputies in Rockdale and Clayton counties have fatally shot two suspects in separate incidents. In Rockdale, a deputy killed a motorist at about 4 this morning after the driver dragged him 800 feet. Police say the deputy managed to grab his gun and shot the suspect.

Seven hours later, a Clayton County deputy responding to a disturbance call shot and killed a suspect at a gas station on Tara Boulevard. Authorities say the suspect ran into an abandoned business, where he threatened the deputy with a knife before he was fatally shot.
