Owens said the deputies were serving a warrant on Thursday night when they were ambushed.
Cobb County court officials identified the men arrested Friday as Christopher Cook and Christopher Golden. The two made their first appearance in court on Friday afternoon.
The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office and the Cobb County Police Department held a joint press conference immediately following the first appearance.
Investigators identified the deputies as Jonathan Koleski and Marshall Ervin, Jr.
“What I can tell you in this moment is this — in plain terms it is simple, my two deputies were ambushed this evening and killed,” Owens said. “The two suspects we believe are the perpetrators of this crime are currently in custody and are being held at the Cobb County Police Department for questioning.”
The sheriff’s office clarified Friday that the deputies were at the Marietta home to arrest Cook on an outstanding warrant for felony theft by receiving. As they were attempting to take him into custody, Golden started shooting at officers from inside the home. The deputies fired back, but both were shot and killed.

As the anniversary of the 9/11 approaches, Editorial Director Frank Borelli wonders how a generation that wasn’t alive yet will view the terror attacks.
Dramatic footage shows a fully-armed man shooting point-blank at West New York police, then being shot dead himself.
The incident is captured in a compilation of police bodycam footage and home surveillance video released late Tuesday, Sept. 6, by Acting New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin.
Several uniformed officers responding to a domestic dispute at the 59th Street home of Kevin Colindres, 32, of West New York on June 3, 2022 had their body cameras activated, Platkin said.
Home security cameras in the neighborhood were working, as well.
Bodycam footage video recorded through the front-door window shows Colindres entering the vestibule in a t-shirt and shorts with both hands behind his back.
Suddenly he raises his arms, revealing a gun in each hand. He fires, wounding one of the officers.
Police quickly take up positions.
About 15 minutes later, the heavily-tattooed Colindres emerges from the front door of a neighboring home. He’s barefoot and wearing the t-shirt as a head scarf.
Colindres points both guns at police from the front steps, then turns and runs down the sidewalk.
An officer shoots and fatally wounds him.
Two guns fall from his hands as Colindres hits the pavement. Police find him carrying a third firearm.
The officers and EMS responders render aid before Colindres is taken to Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen.
He was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m., less than 45 minutes from the time of the initial call, said Platkin.
