They sure are keeping very quiet about this - There was nothing on the noon news about it.  Georgia is not a very big town and strange that nobody seems to even know the location.  They don't usually keep that quiet.

Not a peep from anyone that I've heard.  Been checking back on here all morning long--figured if anybody would know it would be you!  So scary not knowing....

As is appropriate when these things happen - no names or addresses - sad enough situation without further publicity.
