KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — A police spokesman is now saying two people have been killed and three others are injured after a disgruntled former employee opened fire at a suburban Atlanta business.

Cobb County police spokesman Joe Hernandez says the lone gunman is in custody. Hernandez said the suspect fled the Penske Truck Rental facility Tuesday in a pickup truck and was arrested about a mile away.

Hernandez says the gunman was wearing camouflage.

Penske spokesman Randy Ryerson says four of the victims were employees and the other was a customer.

The shooting happened in Kennesaw, about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta.
