Five people were shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide at a spa in Norcross.

Norcross police Captain Brian Harr tells WSB the shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Su Jung Health Sauna at 6005 Buford Highway.

Police said surveillance video shows a man walking into the spa, getting into an argument with one of the victims, and then opening fire.

Four people, including the shooter, were dead on the scene.  A fifth person was taken to the hospital where he later died.

All police are saying about the identities of the dead is that they are three men and two women, WSB’s Richard Sangster reports. Their names have not been released, however, Sangster is hearing the gunman have been the owners brother in law

The spa is open 24 hours a day. Police think about 20 people were inside the building when the shots were fired.

"I think it happened so quickly that a lot of the people didn't realize what happened, and then it was over," said Harr.

Harr believes the shooter had some ties to the business. Police have recovered the gun from the murder scene. Police say the business was in compliance and they've never had any problems.

This is the sixth murder in Norcross this year. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in to assist with the investigation.
