Atlanta mass shooting – latest: Midtown attack victim named as suspect charged with murder after manhunt
The woman killed in the mass shooting at an Atlanta medical centre has now been identified as a 38-year-old CDC worker.
Amy St. Pierre was killed on Wednesday when suspected gunman Deion Patterson opened fire at Midtown Atlanta’s Northside Hospital.
The shooting unfolded when Mr Patterson, who used to be in the US Coast Guard, was attending an appointment with his mother. He allegedly pulled out a handgun and opened fire in the waiting room, shooting five women.
St Pierre died while the four other victims – aged 25 to 71 – are fighting for their lives in hospital.
Mr Patterson, 24, fled the scene by carjacking a vehicle close to the hospital, police said.
A huge manhunt ensued before he was tracked down to Cobb County, just northwest of Atlanta, where he was arrested
A local resident told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the suspect was found hiding near a condo complex’s pool after dogs began barking at him.
Mr Patterson’s mother, Minyone Patterson, said her son had “some mental instability going on” from medication he received from the Veterans Affairs health system that he began taking on Friday.

Barking dogs allegedly tipped police off about shooting suspect
02:21 , Josh Marcus
After an hourslong manhunt, barking dogs were what ultimately helped police find the gunman accused of shooting five people at an Atlanta hospital.
Witnesses told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution police were already on their street at a condominiuim complex in Cobb County when a woman named Christy Colwell told officers about a local pool and washhouse deep in the woods.
“I thought that would be a great place for someone to hide out until dark,” Ms Colwell told the paper. “Ten seconds later, (police) came running back to us, told us to get on the grass, and then all of a sudden there were 30 police cars all heading down there.”
Technology played ‘huge role’ in arrest of shooting suspect
02:02 , Josh Marcus
Advanced surveillance technology played a “huge role” in capturing the gunman wanted for shooting five people at an Atlanta hospital on Wednesday.
Officials said a key break in the case came when investigators spotted a license plate number on a vehicle the gunman allegedly stole.
“Those tools are what really got us the clues we needed to make this successful,” Cobb County police chief Stuart VanHoozer said during a press conference on Wednesday.
The police official said officers checked multiple locations including a construction site as they accumulated information about the suspect, believed to be Deion Patterson.
Eventually, Mr VanHoozer said, an undercover officer confronted the suspect, and officers were able to swoop in and arrest him without incident.

As shootings continue, US states further loosen gun laws
01:52 , Josh Marcus
Many US states continue to weaken their gun laws, even as mass shootings rage on.
As we reported in March, in the weeks before six people, including three nine-year-old children, were fatally shot inside a Nashville school, Tennessee lawmakers considered several pieces of legislation to loosen restrictions on firearms.
The proposals were introduced two years after Republican Governor Bill Lee signed a bill into law that makes it easier for people to openly carry handguns in the state without a permit. Tennessee is one of 25 states with a permitless concealed carry law, a measure that has been rapidly adopted by lawmakers across the US as part of what right-wing activists have called a “constitutional carry” movement in recognition of the Second Amendment.
The same year Tennessee’s legislation was signed into law, lawmakers approved similar measures in Arizona, Iowa, Montana, Texas and Utah. In 2022, lawmakers passed similar bills in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana and Ohio. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is expected to sign a similar measure into law this year after its passage in a GOP-controlled legislature.

During the appointment he became agitated, pulled out a handgun and allegedly started shooting, a police source told the news network.
