Officers on Sunday shot and killed a man wanted in four weekend killings near Atlanta during an exchange of gunfire, with a sheriff's deputy and a police officer wounded while trying to take the suspect into custody, authorities said.
A Henry County sheriff's deputy leaves a meeting to discuss the manhunt for Andre Longmore in Hampton, Ga., on Sunday, July 16, 2023. Police say Longmore shot and killed four people in a nearby neighborhood on Saturday, July 15, 2023. – Officers on Sunday shot and killed a man wanted in four weekend killings near Atlanta during an exchange of gunfire, with a sheriff's deputy and a police officer wounded while trying to take the suspect into custody, authorities said.
One officer was shot in the back and was taken by helicopter to an Atlanta trauma center, Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said. “He is conscious, breathing and talking at this time," Scandrett said of that officer.Hampton Police Chief James Turner said the four killed Saturday were all residents of the same Dogwood Lakes neighborhood where Longmore lived, and were all were shot within a 10-minute span.
“I’m just so glad I told him he sang like an angel,” said Wyatt, adding her heart was heavy Sunday over his death. “I know he is in heaven now singing.”Authorities had been seeking to arrest Longmore on four murder warrants for the deaths. Turner said Longmore's motives remained under investigation. Longmore, who Worth knew only as Andre, was standing in the middle of the street. Worth said he saw the man's hands jerking from the recoil of firing a silver handgun.
Worth said Longmore appeared to evaluate whether he needed to shoot again and then “started walking casually” toward the entrance to the subdivision, then at a “brisk stride.” Worth said he ran upstairs, watching Longmore disappear behind some trees as he called police.Turner told reporters Saturday that detectives were investigating at least four crime scenes in Dogwood Lakes. At least three police cars staked out the neighborhood Sunday, limiting access.
