July 15 (UPI) — A man who shot four people dead in the small Georgia town of Hampton is still on the run as police vowed to “hunt” the suspect down.

Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said his office is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of Longmore.
Scandrett warned civilians not to approach Longmore “who is known to be armed and dangerous.
“We will be actively looking for this individual until he is caught,” Scandrett said
