Police investigating a shooting rampage at a suburban Atlanta health club have identified the four victims as relatives of the gunman, who fatally shot himself after opening fire on his two sisters and their husbands.
Authorities on Wednesday said they had recovered a .45 caliber handgun at the health club in Norcross, Georgia, about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta, where the shooting occurred late Tuesday. They said the killings were the result of a domestic dispute.
The gunman had been at the spa earlier in the day, Norcross police said, and had been asked to leave by one of his sisters.
"The suspect returned at approximately 8:40 p.m. and spoke briefly with a female victim and then produced a semi-auto pistol and shot the victims," a police statement said.
After firing on his two sisters and their husbands, the shooter turned the gun on himself.
The victims were of Korean heritage, said Norcross police Captain Brian Harr, who declined to name either the shooter or the victims. They ranged in age from early 50s to mid 60s.
"The victims have family members outside of the country, and we aren't going to release the names until we are sure the family members have been notified," he said.
Four people were already dead when officers arrived Tuesday night at Sujung Beauty Health and Sauna, and a fifth victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital, Harr said.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Bullets from Mexican police shootout with Drug Cartel strikes mother pushing stroller

A mother pushing her child in a stroller in downtown El Paso was struck by an errant bullet fired during a shootout between Mexican police and Cartel suspects just across the border in violence-ridden Ciudad Juarez, according to El Paso police officials.

Romero, a Mexican citizen, is a legal U.S. immigrant and did not even hear the bursts of assault rifle fire across the border, according to a statement by the El Paso police department. But others did, calling 911 earlier and alerting them to the gun battle apparently taking place on the Mexican side of the border, according to El Paso police Sgt. Chris Mears.
Romero had been walking in downtown El Paso on Overland Ave., a busy shopping district lined with jewelry and western wear stores, when she was hit. There is no line of sight to Mexico. So how did she get shot? "The entry and exit of the bullet shows a high trajectory shot," said Sgt. Mears, meaning that the bullet was likely fired upwards by either the Mexican police or the gunmen, and happened to loop back down right into Romero's calf.
It was a freak shot, said Mears, who added that "no one in the department can remember this ever happening before." It is certainly the first such incident since the Mexican government's struggle to control the drug trade, which has claimed well over 50,000 Mexican lives, erupted into full-blown war.
In 2008, Mexico's powerful Sinaloa cartel took on Juarez cartel rivals over turf, littering the city of low-wage export assembly plants with its daily toll of gunshot victims and mutilated corpses.
But rounds fired in Mexico's drug war next door have previously struck buildings in the Texas border city.
Two years ago, bullets fired in a gunfight between a suspected drug gang and Mexican authorities struck City Hall, smashing a window. Rounds have also struck a building at the University of Texas at El Paso campus, although no injuries were reported.
Politicians in the United States have voiced fears of possible spillover violence from Mexico, although El Paso, a sprawling southwest Texas city of 700,000 residents, was named the safest city of its size in the United States for the first time two years ago.
In fact, statistics show El Paso has a murder rate 26 times lower than another American border town: Buffalo, New York.
And Mayor John Cook said that violence in Ciudad Juarez and other Mexican border cities has been declining. "It's unfortunate that a carjacking like this is going to get national attention when Mexico is actually doing a pretty good job controlling the violence," Cook said.
He said there is no indication that Tuesday's incident was cartel-related.
The ordeal prompted two elementary schools and a middle school near the border to be locked down for half an hour, according to El Paso Independent School District spokeswoman Renee De Santos.

What your mainstream media never tell you: Marvel at the al-Jazeera film crew whipping the crowd to hysteria. This is what most UK/american mainstream media do ; get the crowds TO ACT for the cameras.
Ever noticed the STAGED gun shots or in-the-lens chanting?

DURBAN, South Africa -- “No high hopes for Durban.” “Binding treaty unlikely.” “No deal this year.” Thus ran the headlines. The profiteering UN bureaucrats here think otherwise. Their plans to establish a world government paid for by the West on the pretext of dealing with the non-problem of “global warming” are now well in hand. As usual, the mainstream media have simply not reported what is in the draft text which the 194 states parties to the UN framework convention on climate change are being asked to approve.
Behind the scenes, throughout the year since Cancun, the now-permanent bureaucrats who have made highly-profitable careers out of what they lovingly call “the process” have been beavering away at what is now a 138-page document. Its catchy title is "Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action Under the Convention -- Update of the amalgamation of draft texts in preparation of [one imagines they mean 'for'] a comprehensive and balanced outcome to be presented to the Conference of the Parties for adoption at its seventeenth session: note by the Chair.” In plain English, these are the conclusions the bureaucracy wants.
The contents of this document, turgidly drafted with all the UN's skill at what the former head of its documentation center used to call “transparent impenetrability”, are not just off the wall – they are lunatic.
