Re: Suspect arrested after deadly Midtown Atlanta shooting!
The suspect, Deion Duwane Patterson, 24, was armed when he was arrested Wednesday evening, Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said Thursday.
“What his intent was, I can’t say. Was he lying in wait? Would he have done something out of desperation to get away? Who knows,” the suburban police chief said.
Patterson faces one count of murder and four counts of aggravated assault, Fulton County jail records show. He waived his right to a first appearance in court, which had been set for Thursday morning, the jail supervisor said.
Now, as a community mourns the loss of a beloved health worker in a place traditionally considered safe, the suspect’s mother is apologizing to the families of those slain and hurt.
She also has a message for anyone asked to help someone with mental illness: “Don’t disregard them.”
