North Georgia. Here's the report from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Facebook page:
Before 6 a.m. today, deputies responded to a shooting call at a residence on Old Atlanta Road. Upon arrival, deputies located 5 individuals with apparent gunshot wounds.
An adult male, who is believed to be the alleged shooter, was located deceased on scene. Two young children were also found deceased at the scene. An adult male and adult female were transported to an area hospital, and the female later died as a result of her injuries.
The investigation is still on going, however, initial information suggests that this was a domestic related shooting and an apparent murder-suicide. There are no additional suspects at this time. Snip
Breaks my heart that kids die because their parents are irrational.

(19,497 posts)I'll hazard a guess that only 1 parent was irrational. I know you didn't mean it literally that both parents were irrational but you can see how that reads.
