Georgia shooting – live: Multiple casualties reported as active shooter opens fire in McDonald’s in Moultrie (OLD)

(AP)

Multiple people were killed on Thursday in a shooting spread across multiple locations in Moultrie, Georgia.

“We are investigating multiple incidents and there are fatalities involved,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told The Moultrie Observer.

The gunman, whose name has still not been released to the public, is a 26-year-old man, who killed his 50-year-old mother, 74-year-old grandmother, then a 41-year-old McDonald’s worker, before dying by suicide, according to Colquitt County coroner Verlyn Brock.

The dead include two of the gunman’s family members, a McDonald’s worker, and the gunman himself, who died by suicide, local officials told the AP.

Neighbours also said local police were called to the man’s home a day before the shooting, on reports he was shouting and fired a gun in the street.

The Moultrie police said there’s not an immediate threat to the public.

The GBI is assisting local police in the investigation, WSB-TV reports.
