KENNESAW, Ga. – Dressed in camouflage and armed with a handgun, a disgruntled ex-employee opened fire Tuesday at a truck rental business in suburban Atlanta, killing two people and injuring three others, police said.

The lone gunman drove off in a pickup truck and was arrested after police stopped him about a mile from the Penske Truck Rental facility, Cobb County police spokesman Joe Hernandez said.

"He wasn't here for very long and it wasn't long before he was taken into custody," Hernandez said.

Penske spokesman Randy Ryerson said four of the victims were employees and the other was a customer. Neither police or Ryerson immediately identified the suspect or released the conditions of those wounded.

The suspect worked at the business for several years, Hernandez said, but it was unclear when and why he left. The gunman confronted someone in the parking lot and moved to an area where there are truck bays, shooting victims, Hernandez said. .............(more)

7. ALLEGED handgun - nothing proven in court!

No one has proved it was a hand gun yet. It might have been a blow gun or spear gun for all we know. Maybe it was a stapler? Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?

6. Are they going to say this was a terrorist related attack and put it off on Obama

after all the serial adulter, rudi, said that the army recruiter that was shot in the recruiting office was a terrorist attack.
