ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Three people were killed Saturday at a community theater near the University of Georgia, and authorities were searching for a professor in the shooting deaths.
Athens-Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson said the three were shot off campus about 12:30 p.m. He did not immediately have any other details.
The school's Web site said police were looking for George Zinkhan, a marketing professor at the school in Athens, which is about 70 miles east of Atlanta.
Athens-Clarke Assistant Police Chief Alan Brown tells The Athens-Banner Herald that there is "some indication he may have had multiple weapons."
In a statement, University of Georgia President Michael F. Adams said the university community was shocked and saddened.
"Our first thoughts are for safety of the university community and for prompt apprehension of the person responsible," Adams said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of all those who have been affected."

Prince Ave is on the other side of town where I live, but that means no more than a 10 minute drive around here. We also had a TON of out of towners for the Twilight Criterium this weekend, so it's still of grave concern that they have no idea where he's gone . . .
