ATLANTA — Investigators were awaiting military records and autopsy results Monday to help explain why a National Guardsman allegedly gunned down a sheriff's deputy and then killed himself on the side of a highway in Georgia.
Officials said Spc. Christopher Michael Hodges, 26, was firing gunshots at passing cars moments before the off-duty deputy pulled over to investigate a suspicious car on the side of the road early Sunday.

Hodges and Richmond County Deputy James Paugh, 47, were found dead on the side of Bobby Jones Expressway after 1 a.m. Sunday.
