The 40-year-old man who shot four people in the country's 31st mass killing this year needed mental help for nearly a decade but his family and officials couldn't force him to get treatment, his mother said.
Andre Longmore walked through his neighborhood in the semi-rural suburb of Hampton, Georgia on Saturday and fatally shot four neighbors, all senior citizens. The killings set off a manhunt that ended Sunday with Longmore dead in a shootout in another suburb about 15 miles (25 kilometers) north of Hampton. The shooting wounded a sheriff’s deputy and two police officers, who all are expected to recover.
