A domestic violence incident left three dead in Habersham County Sunday night, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. An ex-law enforcement officer, Anthony Giaquinta, allegedly shot and killed his ex-wife Kathy Smith and an unidentified male last night at a home near Hayes Corner and Hwy 17. Also involved in the shooting were Habersham Sheriff, Joey Terrell, who was shot in the arm, and a Habersham Deputy who suffered multiple gun shot wounds. Both officers are listed in stable condition at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center. The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office assisted with Habersham 911 calls during the just over three hour search for Giaquinta. We will continue to follow this story throughout the week.
