Five Die in Georgia Spa Shooting
Associated Press
NORCROSS, Ga.—Five people died Tuesday night in an apparent murder-suicide at a suburban Atlanta spa, and police were searching for a motive.
Norcross police spokesman Capt. Brian Harr said Tuesday evening that officers found the bodies after responding to a call reporting a person shot at the Su Jung Health Sauna.
Mr. Harr said a preliminary investigation indicates the shooter was among the dead. He didn't know the relationships between the shooter and the victims.
Surveillance video shows a man walking into the spa and getting into an argument with someone, then opening fire, police said.
"It appears he walked in, had some conversation with one of the victims, and the shooting started," Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers told Atlanta television station WAGA.
Four people were found dead inside, and another was taken to a hospital before being pronounced dead, Mr. Harr told the Gwinnett Daily Post. Police described the dead as three men and two women.
Investigators say they believe about 20 people were inside when the shooting began around 8:30 p.m. .
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is working with local police on the case.

Michigan Poll: Santorum 37, Romney 33, Paul 15, Gingrich 10 | The Weekly Standard
PPP reports on its latest poll of the Republican primary race in Michigan:
The Republican race for President in Michigan has tightened considerably over the last week, with what was a 15 point lead for Rick Santorum down to 4. He leads with 37% to 33% for Mitt Romney, 15% for Ron Paul, and 10% for Newt Gingrich.
The tightening over the last week is much more a function of Romney gaining than Santorum falling. Santorum's favorability spread of 67/23 has seen no change since our last poll, and his share of the vote has dropped only 2 points from 39% to 37%. Romney meanwhile has seen his net favorability improve 10 points from +10 (49/39) to +20 (55/35) and his vote share go from 24% to 33%.
The presidential primary in Michigan is February 28.
