The Gwinnettt County Police Department is reporting that the gunshot victim in yesterday’s shooting at a Gwinnett County office building has died. The victim’s identity is being withheld at this time pending notification to next of kin.
While one other person inside the business at the time was transported to the hospital with a minor, non-gunshot injury, no other people inside the business were fired upon.
Police officials say the sole deceased victim appears to have been the focus of the shooting.
Police say they received multiple reports regarding an active shooter situation at a business in the area of 600 Satellite Blvd. at about 2:30 p.m. Friday. Upon the arrival of police, one gunshot victim was located, although the business was occupied by multiple employees at the time of the shooting.
According to eyewitnesses, the shooter appears to be a tall, thin male of unknown race, covered completely in a long, white garment with a white head and face covering.
The suspect fled prior to police arrival and is still at large.
