A crime spree that spanned two counties ended with five people dead, including the man investigators believe killed four of his neighbors.
While families grieved those killed, a devastated community was left two days later with one major question: Why? But those answers may never come. The shooter, an Army veteran who had deployed to Afghanistan, was killed in a shootout with officers.
“The monster is dead,” Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said during a news conference late Sunday afternoon.
