Perhaps my memory is off, but hasn't there been a few large shootings in GA recently?

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA (CBS46) -

Seven people were shot in Douglas County Saturday afternoon. Five of those victims have now died.

Deputies were called to Willow Tree Circle around 3 p.m. They found the shooting victims. Some of the victims are children.

Many neighbors were shocked this happened in the Amber Forest Subdivision.

When neighbors returned home from running errands, they knew something was wrong.

"When we came in, we kept hearing police car after police car. We saw helicopters. We said something is going on," said neighbor Geraldine Price.

Investigators made a gruesome discovery. Sheriff's deputies say some of the seven victims were found lying in the street. The rest were found at the home.

"I've been with the sheriff's office 38 years and I've never seen this many victims in one shooting in my 38-year career," said Douglas County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Stan Copeland.

According to deputies, one person had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The youngest victim is described as a toddler.

"It's just shocking. As a parent, you don't want to think that a mother would lose her child," said Price. "It's just shocking all together and it's sad."

"It's very devastating," said Shelton Price. "Nothing ever really happens here."

"It's very devastating," said Shelton Price. "Nothing ever really happens here."

Many people call LTCF holders that carry in their "safe" neighborhoods "paranoid".

Another divorce dispute maybe?

Another divorce dispute maybe?

Yeah that was my first thought also. These things seem to usually turn out to be a domestic issue as opposed to a random killing. Either way it's terrible to hear about.

Found this on another site with the sister of the shooter supposedly quoted as below. I'm sure the antis will find some way of using this quote whether accurate or not:

The shootings occurred both in a house, and the street. A woman, who WSB said neighbors identified as the shooter’s sister at one point was heard by neighbors screaming “My brother should have never had a gun,” after being summoned to the scene.
