The shootings marked the 31st mass killing of 2023, taking the lives of at least 153 people this year, according to a database maintained by The AP and USA Today in a partnership with Northeastern University. The most recent homicide before Saturday in the town of 8,000 had been in 2018, Turner said. Hampton is home to the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Georgia’s racetrack for NASCAR events. “What was going through that man’s mind after he did all he done?” Foster wondered.

Ron Foster, who lives on the main road outside the subdivision entrance, said Longmore drove through his yard and his neighbor’s yard, destroying multiple ornamental windmills and leaving tire tracks in the grass. About 40 houses on two streets flank a lake in the neighborhood, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of downtown Atlanta. At least three police cars staked out the neighborhood Sunday, limiting access. Turner told reporters earlier that detectives were investigating at least four crime scenes in Dogwood Lakes. Worth said Longmore appeared to evaluate whether he needed to shoot again and then “started walking casually” toward the entrance to the subdivision, then at a “brisk stride.” Worth said he ran upstairs, watching Longmore disappear behind some trees as he called police. “He didn’t appear angry, upset, agitated,” Worth said. Worth said he first thought there’d been a road rage confrontation, but said the man moved deliberately. ![]()
