LILBURN, Ga. — An argument in a Lilburn food mart turned into deadly gunfire and multiple injuries on Saturday evening, police said.
According to the Lilburn Police Department, a man went to Tana Food Mart on Lawrenceville Highway, where his former sister-in-law was and her close family friend worked.
Police said that preliminary information indicates that the three got into an argument before the man allegedly shot the pair and himself.
The 57-year-old woman died at the scene, and both men have been taken to the hospital, according to police. The store employee had a gunshot wound to the leg, law enforcement stated. Police said he is in stable condition, meaning he is expected to survive from his injuries. The suspect is also 62 and had a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His condition is currently unknown, police said.
The woman has since been identified by police as Tigist Lulesgud and the suspect as Teodros Shibeshi.
This is an ongoing investigation.
Editor's Note: The Lilburn Police Department originally said that information led them to believe the incident involved an ex-husband who allegedly killed his ex-wife and shot both himself and his ex's new husband. Further investigation by police revealed that the familial relations were different. The story has been updated to correct these relationships.
