Showing Original Post only (View all)Georgia Man Arrested for Triple Murder [View all]
ajc.com reportsDeKalb County investigators said late Wednesday they have identified the man accused of shooting three people to death at an apartment complex. But they havent found him yet.
Brian Levern Gupton, 32, allegedly shot two men and a woman, possibly following a discussion over the theft of money, according to police.
Officers arriving at the Crystal Point Apartments, off Columbia Drive in south DeKalb, around 1:20 a.m. found the three people shot in the parking lot, according to Mekka Parish, police spokeswoman. All three died from their injuries, Parish said.
Detectives believe the trio were at the location meeting with the suspect in reference to a dispute over the theft of money, Parish said in an emailed statement. During this encounter, the suspect pulled out a weapon and began firing, striking the three victims.
No mention in the article about his past, whether he was a lawful gun owner or not. But, it doesn't matter. In this, gun owners are all the same. Some of them think the gun is the answer and use it to settle scores or end arguments.
Gun-rights fanatics are heavily invested in the idea that gun owners are divided neatly into two categories, the good guys and the bad guys. Nothing could be further from the truth. They're all brothers of the gun.

Most likely he was a hidden criminal disguising himself as a lawful gun owner. nt

Use of firearms is a martial art. It is one that can be employed beyond arms reach.

Because the government employees whose guns you wouldn't confiscate will always be there...

They'll have another chance to get it right. The liberal dissenting opinion rocks.

Let me answer for him....guns and ammo in the hands of civilians is a bad bad thing.
