GBI: Officers justified in Montgomery woman's fatal shooting

MOUNT VERNON - Montgomery County sheriff&#39;s deputies who killed a woman in a shootout last month were justified in their actions, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent said Friday. <br> <br> Cheryl Burns, 36, was shot once in the forehead after she fired a shotgun at four officers, said Lee Sweat, special agent in charge of the GBI in Eastman. <br> <br> Burns was wanted for a Dec. 24 altercation in which she allegedly attacked a sheriff&#39;s deputy. Her husband, Reginald Burns, was arrested following the Dec. 27 shooting and charged with obstruction of an officer and assault on a police officer. <br> <br> The GBI is awaiting autopsy results before completing its report. District Attorney Tim Vaughn will then review the case, Sweat said. <br> <br> Vaughn said he does not expect any charges against the officers, who shot Cheryl Burns once in the forehead. <br> <br> ``All indications are that the deceased put the deputy in the position where he did what he had to do,&#39;&#39; Vaughn said.
