Four people were killed in a series of shootings in an Atlanta suburb and a suspected gunman was still at large hours after the attacks, officials said Saturday afternoon.
The shootings happened at about 10:45 a.m. in Hampton, a small city of about 8,000 residents some 30 miles outside Atlanta, Georgia, according to a social media post from Henry County. Officials did not release specifics about the location of the shootings but said they happened at separate locations, all within the Dogwood Lakes subdivision area.
Hampton Police Chief James Turner said the suspect, identified as 40-year-old Andre Longmore of Hampton, was still at large as of about 4:15 p.m. He’s believed to be driving a 2017 black GMC Acadia.
Turner said the victims were three men and one woman. They were not identified.
Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said a $10,000 reward would be offered for information leading to an arrest and prosecution of Longmore. Scandrett said there were four active murder warrants for Longmore.
“Wherever you are, we will hunt you down in any hole that you may be residing in and bring you to custody. Period,” Scandrett said at a news conference, speaking in a direct message to the suspect.
Officials urged residents to avoid the Dogwood Lakes area, where the shooting broke out. Local police agencies were investigating and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was notified, officials said.
