Targeted shootings at Walmart and home kill 2, wound 1 in Georgia, police say; suspect caught in South Carolina

A suspect has been apprehended after targeted shootings at a Georgia Walmart and an area home left two dead and one injured, authorities said Friday. 

Deputies from the Newton County Sheriff's Office responded to a Walmart around 1:30 a.m. Friday, the office said in a news release. 

The store was closed, with only employees inside, when one worker allegedly exited the building and retrieved a firearm, the office said. The employee reentered the store and fatally shot an acquaintance inside the building, the sheriff's office said. The employee then allegedly "encountered a second acquaintance" outside the store and shot them, authorities  said. The second victim was transported to an area hospital in critical condition.
