4 family members and shooter dead in rural Georgia shooting
Four family members and the shooter died in a potential murder-suicide at a rural Georgia home on Friday night. The victims, all adult family members of the shooter, were found at the family residence on the outskirts of Douglas, a city about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta. Douglas Police Chief Brannen Pruette stated that investigators believe this incident was a murder-suicide involving immediate family members who lived in the home.
One of the victims, believed to be the wife, made an emergency call to police around 11 p.m., complaining about her husband's smoking and claiming he was killing her with the smoke. The wife, who was found at the scene and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, also placed another call earlier in the day. Police have not provided further details about the incident.
