The investigation

is still continuing in Monday's murder-suicide at the South Fulton branch

of the Atlanta-Fulton County Library.

Lt. Darryl

Halpert of the Fulton County Police Department received the call about

10 a.m. Monday morning that a shooting had occurred at the library.

An unnamed

witness told officers she had left the library at 9:40 a.m. to go out

and get coffee. When she arrived back at the library just before 10 a.m.,

Gladys Dennard, 52, and John Egleston, 31, were dead on the floor with

gunshot wounds.

Dennard was

Egleston's supervisor and had recently disciplined him, Halpert said.

The department is treating the case as a murder-suicide, and will only

say that Dennard had multiple gunshot wounds, while Egleston had one wound.

Denard had

worked in the library system for more than 30 years, Halpert added.

Officials have

indicated the library will probably be closed until the middle of next

week.
