A suspect has died and six people were injured Tuesday morning in a shooting at a FedEx facility in Kennesaw, Ga.
Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce said that an unidentified male suspect arrived at the facility around 5:45 a.m. and started shooting, according to Atlanta news station WXIA.
The suspect since died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
The six people injured were taken to a hospital in neighboring Marietta, Ga., according to CNN. One victim was in surgery.
A company spokesman said FedEx was aware of the incident.
“The primary concern is the safety and well-being of our team members, first responders and others affected,” spokesman Scott Fielder said, as quoted by CNN. “FedEx is cooperating with authorities.”

With that new Georgia ‘guns everywhere at any time for any reason’ law, I’m surprised that the gunman wasn’t met with gunfire himself. Why weren’t all the other employees packing heat? If everyone there had been packing, I’m sure that the toll could have been much much higher, to the NRA’s delight.
*When you absolutely positively need to kill every MF’er in the joint.
Dodge City, just as predicted.
I agree with estamm…The news here is that the gunman wasn’t disintegrated by return gunfire from everyone in the FedEx facility, those slackers.
I hope the police were polite to the gun-toting freedom shooter and didn’t make unreasonable disarm demands.
And people are talking about it being surreal/unreal - seems it is the logical result of that well armed militia. What do they think is going to happen when every person in the state is armed and ready to shoot?
