ACT shooting (UPDATED)

UPDATE (5:47 p.m.): The Atlanta Journal-Constitution identifies the three victims as Ben Teague, Marie Bruce and Tom Tanner. None are students as previously reported. In addition, it has several accounts from the shooting itself.

Absolutely awful news on Twilight day as three people were shot and killed at the Athens Community Theater, while another was wounded. According to the University of Georgia Police Alert, Professor George Zinkhan is listed as a suspect ...

UGA Professor George Zinkhan is a suspect in a shooting off campus.

George Zinkhan is a white male in his mid 50s with a goatee or beard. Current information is that he was last seen wearing a polo shirt, blue shorts, and a backpack. He was last thought to be in a red car in the area of Prince Avenue. Use extreme caution if contact is made.

Call 911 if you know his location. Please do not call 911 for information.
Please do not call UGA Police asking questions. Only call to provide information that you may have regarding this matter.

Having a suspect at-large, presents a threatening situation.

You are encouraged to use your best judgment in taking precautions during this time.


Zinkhan is a Coca-Cola Company Professor in Marketing at UGA's Terry College of Business.
