Georgia authorities say that at least four people were killed in a mass shooting in Hampton on Saturday morning. There is a massive manhung underway for the killer.
The shooting rampage reportedly began at approximately 10:45 a.m. in the Dogwood Lakes area of Hampton, a small city south of Atlanta.
Authorities identified the suspect as 40-year-old Andre Longmore. Police believe Longmore killed three men and one woman.
He is black, and at least one of his male victims is white.
“We’re not releasing the name of the victims at this time to ensure that the family has time to be notified and to for them to grieve in private before it becomes public,” police chief James Turner explained at a Saturday afternoon press conference.
Authorities obtained four warrants for 40-year-old Andre Longmore’s arrest. Henry County Sheriff’s Office is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone with information about the suspect.
