On January 12, 2010, a former employee, 37-year-old Jesse James Warren, opened fire at a Penske Truck Leasing facility in Kennesaw, Georgia, killing two people and wounding three others. The gunman targeted employees in the parking lot and truck bay before surrendering to police shortly after the shooting. The victims were employees of the company.
Victims: Three people died, one at the scene, one at a local hospital, and one later died in 2013, from complications from their injuries
Suspect: Jesse James Warren, a former employee, was charged with three counts of malice murder and aggravated assault. He opened fire with a 9mm handgun, shooting five, shooting at least three of the victims in the head. Warren was declared incompetent to stand trial and was indefinitely committed to a mental institution in 2017.
Jesse James Warren, who worked as a truck mechanic at the facility from June 2005 to July 2009, had been fired the prior July, leading to financial difficulties. Warren had threatened other employees after his firing, and complained that he had lost his job to Hispanics. A former coworker described Warren as unsociable and unable to focus on his work.
Location: The shooting occurred at a Penske facility about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta.
Investigation: The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident
