Did money problems prompt shooting spree at Norcross spa?
Police Seek Answers in Deadly Norcross Spa Shooting: MyFoxATLANTA.com
NORCROSS, GA (CBS ATLANTA) - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is assisting Norcross police in finding a motive for a shooting spree at a health spa late Tuesday that ended with five people – including the shooter – dead. A pastor of the victims told CBS Atlanta News that financial problems were at the center of a dispute among the family who owned the spa. Paul Song Kim, pastor of Fire in the Eye Korean Baptist Church, said the shooter was the brother-in-law of the owner and that the shooting happened during a family meeting over finances. Police, however, have not confirmed that. Norcross police have not confirmed the identities of the victims or the relationships between the shooter and the victims. According to Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers, officers responded to the Buford Highway spa at about 8:40 p.m. They found five people dead. He said the shooting was a murder-suicide, some of which was captured on surveillance footage. "It appears that he walked in, had some conversation with one of the victims and the shooting started," said Summers. "Then he goes off camera at some point, and we don't see exactly what went on there. But then he comes back on camera, and we know it's a murder-suicide." "It's so unexpected and unbelievable," said Jon Lee. He said his friend, the owner of the spa, was killed in the shooting spree. "Just an outstanding gentleman," Lee said of his friend.
