Official: Gunman kills two relatives, fast food worker, then self in rural Georgia town
The shooter killed his mother and grandmother at two neighboring homes and killed a woman at a McDonald's restaurant in downtown Moultrie, Colquitt County Coroner C. Verlyn Brock told The Associated Press. He said the gunman then shot himself.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the Moultrie Police Department requested its assistance, as is typical in major crimes in Georgia. Jerry Goodwin lived next door to the gunman and his mother and two doors down from the grandmother. He told The Associated Press on Thursday that his wife heard shots fired before 1 a.m. Thursday, while he was asleep. Goodwin said the young man who lives next door had come outside and fired a gun one day earlier in the week while shouting something, and that Moultrie police had responded.
Goodwin said he didn't know his neighbors well, although the man had come to his house after moving in several years ago to seek advice on installing a fence.Moultrie resident Tanner Strickland said he knew two of the slain women.
