Shooting reported near a Georgia university

Police are looking for a suspect following a shooting that happened near a Georgia university on Saturday.

Kennesaw State University sent out an alert around 3 p.m., EDT on Saturday alerting students and staff that there had been a shooting close to campus at a private golf course, Pinetree Country Club.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the university’s men’s and women’s golf teams use the private golf course.

The university identified the suspect as a Hispanic male and over six feet tall, with a “white T-shirt, work pants, and possibly a hat.”

The university had said the suspect was considered “armed and dangerous.” 

Just before 5 p.m., the school notified everyone that normal activities could resume, saying in a tweet “No credible threat to campus is indicated at this time.”

Cobb County Police agency spokeswoman Officer Shenise Barner told the Journal-Constitution that law enforcement was investigating the situation.

No additional information about the incident or whether the suspect had been apprehended was provided.

The Hill has reached out to Cobb County Police and the university for comment.
