Atlanta shooting suspect in custody after 8-hour manhunt
Fox 5 Atlanta's Rob DiRienzo provides details on the arrest of 24-year-old suspect Deion Patterson.
Officials in south Georgia say a man shot and killed three people before eventually killing himself on Thursday.
The man allegedly killed his mother and grandmother at neighboring homes, and then went to a McDonald's restaurant in Moultrie, where he killed another woman, Colquitt County Coroner Verlyn Brock said.
The man then went on to kill himself, Brock said.
It's unclear if the man knew the person who was killed at the McDonald's, the coroner added.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Jamy Steinberg said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the agency has "responded to multiple scenes."
