Georgia ? Two off-duty police officers were killed early Wednesday in an apparent ambush at an apartment complex in what residents described as a high-crime neighborhood, police said.

Police arrested a 32-year-old man and charged him with murder, said Officer Jonathan Ware, a DeKalb County police spokesman. Authorities were still looking for other suspects, he said.

DeKalb County Officers Ricky Bryant Jr., 26, and Eric Barker, 33, were working as security guards at the complex and investigating a suspicious person there when shots rang out, DeKalb County Police Chief Terrell Bolton said.
