5 dead in shooting at health spa outside Atlanta [View all]

Five people were killed in an apparent murder-suicide Tuesday night at a Norcross, Ga., health spa, northeast of Atlanta, local police said.

On arrival at the scene, officers found four people dead, Norcross police captain Brian Harr told Reuters. A fifth victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Harr said they believe the shooter was among the dead.

State investigators were called in to assist local police at Su Jung Health Sauna in the 6000 block of Buford Highway, local media said.
