5 dead following suspected murder-suicide at spa in Norcross, Georgia

 

A gunman opened fire at a spa in an Atlanta suburb on Tuesday, leaving five people dead in what authorities described as a murder-suicide. Surveillance video shows a man walking into the spa and getting into an argument with someone, then opening fire, police said. "It appears he walked in, had some conversation with one of the victims and the shooting started," Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers told Atlanta television station WAGA. Summers told reporters at the scene that preliminary evidence suggested the shooting may have been a murder-suicide.
