BARTON
Mark Barton walked into these
buildings in Atlanta's financial district and started shooting.
As well as those killed, at least a dozen were injured.
With the gunman still at large, police evacuated the buildings.
Police cordoned off the area in an attempt to capture Barton.
Police officers at the scene were as much in shock as the general
public.
Barton was followed by police and asked to pull over at a petrol
station, where he shot himself
in his van before police could arrest
him.
The bodies of Barton's second wife and two children were found at
his home.
