This is the WF next door to Chickfilet and Popeyes near I-75 and Circle 75.

Claims he has a bomb.  Called WSBTV to state his demands.  

I drove right by the bank on my way to work this morning, probably half an hour before it went down.  I may need to find a different route home if it doesn't get resolved by then.

Cobb PD is on it, many roads around the bank is blocked.

He was getting evicted from his flop hotel, probably the Red Roof Inn across the street.  So if he surrenders and they take him to jail, he'll get free housing and food for a long time.

Update: the person is dead. Cause of death not yet reported.  Traffic is still screwed up around the area.

Drove by the bank on the way home.  Yellow crime tape is still around the entire property, GBI Crime Scene Truck and a couple of cars were the only activity.  Traffic was back to normal.

It ended as well as it could have.  It ended the way the instigator wanted it to end.  He wasn't looking for 3 hots and a cot........he was looking for a way out.  

I am very sorry that the perpetrator in this case was a brother Marine.  I lay the blame in this on the VA and a system that very rarely gives vets the help they need and deserve.

Cobb PD SWAT did an excellent job.  No loss of innocent life and minimal property damage.  A well-trained and equipped Sniper ended the situation cleanly.

This. Sad to see another brother go down like this, but like you said, he got what he was ultimately looking for. A suicide by Cop. Kudos to Cobb PD.
