As an "all-hands-on-deck" manhunt continued Sunday for a 41-year-old man suspected of fatally gunning down four people in broad daylight at a residential subdivision in southwest Georgia, a witness described the shooter calmly checking his weapon after killing one of the victims.

The suspect, identified by authorities as Andre L. Longmore, is considered armed and dangerous and believed to be driving a 2017 Black GMC Acadia SUV with Georgia tags, authorities said.

"I'm going to say this directly to you, Mr. Longmore wherever you are, we will hunt you down in any hole that you may be residing in and bring you to custody, period," Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said as he announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the suspect.

The names of the victims were not immediately released, pending notification of their relatives. All of the victims are adults, authorities said.

A motive for the shooting that unfolded around 10:45 a.m. Saturday remains under investigation. Longmore is suspected of killing victims in at least four different locations in close proximity at the Dogwood Lakes subdivision in Hampton, about 40 miles south of Atlanta, Henry County officials said.

Frankie Worth, a resident of the subdivision, said the suspect was wielding a black handgun and that he witnessed him fatally shoot his neighbor.

"Just when I was about to open the window, I heard POW," Worth told ABC affiliate station WSB-TV in Atlanta. "When I opened the window, I saw (the gunman's) arms up and he's coming back down."

From the YT vids.
It looked like a mostly quiet community, unless criminal activity had being rising there.

Looked like a gang related accident..
 
I wonder if the families got money?

I guess they didn't live close enough to some state-funded institution or other.

Speaking of which:

Is there ever a case in which politicians can not find some excuse to spend more money? /rhetorical-question

"Did you do your job? You did? Well, here's a million bucks!"
