Bond Denied for Suspect in Cobb Shooting Spree

By Conaway and Strickler

A Cobb County judge ordered the suspect in a shooting spree at a Kennesaw truck rental company to be held without bond. An official of the company, Penske Truck Rental and Leasing, said that four of the five shooting victims were employees, and one was a customer. He said the victims were apparently chosen at random. Police say the suspect opened fire at the truck rental company on January 12, killing two men and critically wounding three others. The suspect faces two counts of murder and five counts of aggravated assault. Workplace violence is not new in Georgia. The Atlanta area has dealt with workplace violence on a much larger scale.
