Homeland Security worker and another woman are killed in a series of Atlanta-area attacks

A Department of Homeland Security employee was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Atlanta on Monday, part of a series of attacks that killed another woman and critically wounded a homeless man. The 26-year-old suspect, a British-born man naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022, has a prior criminal record and faces murder charges for attacks across the Atlanta area. Lauren Bullis was remembered by Homeland Security colleagues as warm, kind and compassionate, with a fellow auditor recalling: “You couldn’t meet her and not be her friend.”
