A Georgia man shot two of his relatives and a fast food worker dead before killing himself on Thursday in rural south Georgia, the local coroner said.
The shooter killed his mother and grandmother at two neighboring homes and killed a woman at a McDonald's restaurant in downtown Moultrie, Colquitt County Coroner C. Verlyn Brock told The Associated Press. He said the gunman then shot himself.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement only that there had been"multiple fatalities" at different crime scenes in the area. As the state's leading law enforcement agency, the GBI said the Moultrie Police Department requested its assistance, as is typical in major crimes in Georgia. Sabrina Holweger, who works at an adjoining optometrist's office, said she and a coworker arrived at work before 8 a.m. to find police swarming the McDonald's and a woman's body gunned down and lying in a doorway of the restaurant.
She said police blocked off a main street that runs in front of the McDonald's in the city of 15,000 and told employees in her office that they would be questioned if they crossed the property line into the McDonald's parking lot.
