Hi. I'm glad you are concerned as a lot of people are...but it was not young adults or students. Read all of the information out there if you can. It was sadly his wife/possible ex wife and two members of the theatre community who were older.
as more information comes in things get solidified. Initial reports were that the victims names were withheld and only reported that students were around at the theatre.
You are right, we now know the killed were indeed his wife and two other men. Police think the second man killed was an accidental bystander. The student young adults were hit by the richochets and injured(the police think they were ricochets)
as far as I know he is still at large.
thanks for your comment, and pray for the Athens community
