Atlanta suburb's push for cityhood mired in confusion, mayoral candidate says

Mableton, one of America's newest cities, hasn't even held the election for its first mayor, but residents are already pushing to be excluded from the town.

Two people were killed in an apparent murder-suicide at a Chick-fil-A in Rome, Georgia early Wednesday morning, according to police. 

Rome police officers were dispatched to the Chick-fil-A on Shorter Avenue around 7 a.m. Before arriving, the officers received information that the incident was a shooting rather than an accident.

Later Wednesday, police identified the male shooter as 56-year-old Anthony Wayne Green. The female victim was identified as 39-year-old Cassie Lashae Davis. Both had lived in Rome, about an hour-and-a-half drive northwest of Atlanta.
