NORCROSS, GEORGIA (BNO NEWS) -- Five people were killed on late Tuesday evening in a suspected murder-suicide at a health spa in an Atlanta suburb, police said on Wednesday.

Police said three men and two women were found dead at the Su Jung Health Sauna in Norcross, Georgia, late Tuesday evening. Four of the gunshot victims were pronounced dead at the scene and the fifth died at a local hospital, police said.

Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers said the shooting appears to be a murder-suicide, some of which was captured on surveillance footage, CBS Atlanta reported.

"It appears that he walked in, had some conversation with one of the victims and the shooting started," said Summers. "Then he goes off camera at some point, and we don't see exactly what went on there. But then he comes back on camera, and we know it's a murder-suicide."

Police have not released the identity of the shooter or the victims. An investigation is underway.
