A beloved fire chief in Georgia was shot and killed after knocking on a door to ask for assistance.

Coweta County Fire Department Chief James Bartholomew Cauthen, 54, stopped to help a couple after they struck a deer in Chambers County, Alabama, just over the Georgia border. Cauthen and the driver of the vehicle walked to a nearby property to call 911 because they didn't have cell phone service, WRBL reported.
