I was so glad to hear Mayor Dickens pin point the root of the problem. I love that there are clear, rational, and intelligent voices in this issue. He was exactly right.

Cobb Police Chief is extremely professional! First to acknowledge and address the families.

These kind of press conferences are becoming all too common in this US.

Kinda getting old hearing all these agencies praise each other for doing their jobs. Always grateful for law enforcement putting their lives on the line each and every day. But press conferences should only be for updates and expressing thoughts for the victims, not an agency campaign commercial each time.

They are a sharp looking group. Glad they not only know how to look, but they got their person fast & professionally.

Well done to all involved. My heart goes out to the families of the victims and kuddos to everyone involved in catching him and those involved in caring for the victims.

So thankful to have Grady in our city. Remember what they do everyday and support them in any way you can.

Now imagine if they put this much effort into chasing down all the ones shooting each other up every other day in the hoods.

Just tell us what happened. I'm so sick of the thanking people thing. We get it.

Good job APD and everyone else in our city who worked to save lives and apprehend the shooter. 🙏🏽

👍Well done. Thank you for your service.🙏

Wonderful police work, grateful to all involved. Sorry for the victims and their families. Kemp needs to work on gun registration and sales restrictions rather than let anyone open carry.

[AG]

Good Job and thanks for an immediate update to the public 🎉❤

THE SHOOTER HAD A 2 HOUR HEAD START BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS IN COBB COUNTY AT 12:30PM UNTIL 2:30PM. IF YOU WATCH ALL DAY IN REAL TIME, YOU SEE ALL THE MISTAKES THAT THEY FAIL TO OWN UP TO AT THE FINAL PRESS BRIEFING.

Prayers for these families and to the victims ✝️🙏🏽.

The mayor treated this more like a political ad than a press conference. It’s not about you pal, it’s about the victims and pile of trash that shot innocent people today.

[CreetureFeature]

4 minutes in and no details, great to point out teamwork, but tell us what happened.

[Nicole-bjdv]

ENOUGH OF THE ACCOLADES, HOW EXACTLY DID HE GET CAUGHT? I WATCHED ALL DAY BUT NEED TO GO GET GROCERIES FOR CINCO DE MAYO, AND MISSED THE REAL TIME CAPTURE NOTIFICATION.

Criminal trash shooter. Lock him up for life without parole.
