Walmart Employee in Georgia Arrested After Targeted Shooting Spree Leaves Two Dead

The suspect, now in custody, carried out a planned attack at a closed Covington Walmart and a nearby residence, critically injuring one and killing two acquaintances.

The shootings began early Friday at a closed Walmart Supercenter in Covington, Georgia, where the suspect targeted two coworkers, killing one and critically injuring another.
After leaving the store to retrieve a firearm, the suspect returned to carry out the attack on employees described as acquaintances.
The shooter then forced entry into a nearby home on Emerson Trail, fatally shooting another acquaintance before fleeing the scene.
Authorities confirmed the suspect fled toward South Carolina, where they were apprehended and taken into custody.
Investigators emphasized the targeted nature of the attack, distinguishing it from a random active shooter scenario, and are continuing to examine the circumstances.
