DHS worker among victims in Atlanta-area shooting spree; suspect in custody

A string of gun attacks in the Atlanta area left two women dead and a homeless man critically injured, including Lauren Bullis, a Department of Homeland Security employee. Authorities connected the three attacks and charged Olaolukitan Adon Abel, a UK-born man who reportedly became a U.S. citizen in 2022, with two counts of malice murder and related firearms offenses. Investigators are examining whether any victims were targeted, while Bullis’s colleagues and family remember her as warm and dedicated; the case drew attention from Homeland Security leadership.
