2 Dead in Shooting at Georgia Business

Tuesday , January 12, 2010

Gunfire at a Georgia truck rental business left two dead and three hurt
Tuesday afternoon.

Police arrived quickly on the scene of the deadly shooting -- a Penske
truck rental on Barrett Lakes Boulevard -- and apprehended a suspect, a
former employee according to the Penske corporation.

The truck rental group also said that of the five people shot, four were
employees and one was a customer.

Police said the shooting in suburban Kennesaw happened inside the
business Tuesday afternoon, just before 2 pm. Conflicting reports
initially emerged on the number of people killed in the incident,
although officer Joe Hernandez with the Cobb County police confirmed
that the injured were airlifted to local hospitals, including Grady
Memorial Hospital and Atlanta Medical Center.

In a brief press conference at 3:35 pm, officer Hernandez stated that
three people were killed in the rampage, which ranged across the Penske
facility. A police spokesman later confirmed that only two people were
killed.

After the shooting, the suspect, dressed in camouflage attire, left in a
pickup truck. Hernandez stated that the police were able to apprehend
the suspect about a mile from the facility, thanks to numerous phone
reports and 911 calls about the incident.

Little information exists about the killer at present, described by the
policeman as "an older white male, in good condition, in police custody."

Hernandez continued that "investigators are speaking with everyone who
would have been in side the business and had information."

The names of the victims have not yet been released.
