Shooter On The Loose
Longmore, 40, is a Hampton resident. It has not been reported if Longmore was personally connected to any of the victims, who have not yet been publicly identified.
"Turner explained during the press conference that there are 'at least four crime scenes,' and law enforcement personnel are still searching for Longmore, who was last seen driving a black GMC Acadia SUV — a car that the police chief said did not belong to the suspect," The Hill reported.
The investigation is being led by the Hampton Police Department and the Henry County Police Department is assisting in the investigation as well as Henry County Sheriff's Department, Henry County Homeland Security, and Henry County Crime Scene Unit.
"We will hunt you down in any hole that you may be residing in and bring you into custody," Henry County Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett said.
"A $10,000 dollar reward is also being offered for information that results in the arrest and prosecution of the suspect," according to the sheriff.
Hampton mayor, Ann Tarpley, called the shooting "a tragedy."
"We ask that you lift up the families and victims in your prayers and your thoughts and you give them the privacy they need," Tarpley said.
The investigation is active and ongoing.
