A Tennessee deputy was discovered shot dead inside her burning home after not showing up for work.
Authorities thought it was weird when Patrol deputy Savannah Puckett, 22, did not show up for her roll-call. According to the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office in Middle Tennessee, a deputy went to Puckett’s home to find the house “engulfed in flames.”
According to the Miami Herald, a deputy went to her residence on Highway 41N in Springfield, TN to check on her, and found her home engulfed in flames.
The deputy did try to enter her home, but the flames were too extensive. The fire department eventually arrived and found Puckett shot, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Puckett was with the department for four years.
Sheriff Michael Van Dyke says, “Words cannot express the sadness and grief that Savanna’s family and her Sheriff’s Office family are facing right now. This is a tragedy that we are processing minute by minute. Please keep Savanna, her family, and the Sheriff’s Office in your thoughts and prayers.”
