HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say officers killed a man in an exchange of gunfire as they tried to arrest the suspect in the weekend killings of four people near Atlanta. Officials add a sheriff’s deputy and two police officers were wounded Sunday while trying to take 40-year-old Andre Longmore into custody. All three are expected to recover. Officials said Longmore was gunned down in an Atlanta suburb about 15 miles from where the four shooting deaths occurred Saturday. All of the victims were in their 60s and residents of the same Hampton, Georgia, subdivision where Longmore lived. It remains unclear why he shot the people.
