ATLANTA — A Chick-fil-A drive-thru in Rome abruptly turned into a crime scene Wednesday morning when a man walked up to a woman’s car, fatally shot her and then shot himself as commuters waited in line for breakfast.
Rome police were called to the fast-food restaurant on Shorter Avenue around 7 a.m. for what was initially reported as a vehicle crash with injuries, the department said in a statement. They were then notified it had actually been a shooting.
The preliminary investigation indicates that Cassie Davis, who had just turned 39 on Friday, was waiting in the drive-thru when 56-year-old Anthony Green pulled into the parking lot, got out of his vehicle and shot her three times through the passenger-side window, according to Floyd County Deputy Coroner Chris Giles. Green then turned the gun on himself, delivering one fatal shot, Giles said.
