A suspect accused of fatally shooting two people near a dental office in Smyrna, Georgia, has committed suicide during an attempt to flee Cobb County police officers.

A person suspected of fatally shooting two people on Thursday near a dental office northwest of Atlanta died by suicide when officers tried to stop the individual's vehicle, police said.
