3. Members of the Paulding County Sheriff's Office shared messages of sympathy and solidarity after two deputies in neighboring Cobb County were killed in the line of duty on Thursday.

Two suspects were taken into custody and were identified as Christopher James Cook Jr. and Christopher Patrick Golden. (Officer.com)
4. On Thursday, 30 junior class athletes from the Paulding County School District attended a one-day leadership conference at West Ridge Church on Hiram Acworth Highway in Dallas.
