The Athens theatre community is so close-knit, I’m sure you’ve all been affected by this awful tragedy that struck today. From what I’ve been able to ascertain, the shooting took place at about 12 30pm at the Athens Community Theatre, where Town & Gown usually does their shows. UGA Professor George Zinkhan is the main suspect everyone is talking about at the moment, but that’s about as much as anyone seems to know. The AJC reported the name of one of the deceased, but that’s the only name I’ve been able to find: two others were killed and another three reportedly injured, possibly by ricochets.
For all those affected by this tragedy, we are thinking of you; you have our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know, via comment or email, if you have any thoughts you’d like to share or if you just need someone to talk to. We’re no grief counselors, but we are human, and so we are here for you if you need someone.
God Bless,
Dave
