Officials have not released names of the victims or the suspect.

The shooting happened shortly after 6 p.m. Friday on the second floor of the hospital. The women were at the hospital visiting a relative, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead.

Shortly after the incident, the shooter drove to the Fort Oglethorpe police station, less than two miles from the hospital, and turned himself in, according to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.
