Rockmart’s police Chief Keith Sorrells told Channel 2 Action News these are believed to be targeted attacks. There were no signs of forced entry at the two homes. The GBI did not disclose a motive or the relationship between Gamble and the shooting victims.

Two people from the Rome area told the news station they drove the 20 miles south to Rockmart, a small town of about 4,000 people, after hearing that one of the shootings happened at their relative’s house. Their relative was not hurt and had gone to Walmart during the shooting, but returned to find two bodies inside her home.

“It’s just unheard of in a small community like this,” Sorrells said.

"He's my cousin."
