At least 4 people are dead after a shooting in Hampton, Georgia, Saturday morning, a county official says.

The suspect, who authorities have not yet identified, is still at large, Melissa Robinson, a spokesperson for Henry County, told CNN.

Hampton is a small city about 29 miles south of Atlanta in Henry County.

Robinson said the first call about the shooting came in around 10:45 a.m. ET. The incident happened in an area close to the Dogwood Lakes subdivision, an area that features lake-front homes and a nearby baptist church.

"The Hampton Police Department is leading the investigation with the assistance of the Henry County Police Department, Henry County Sheriff's Department, Henry County Homeland Security and Henry County Crime Scene Unit," a statement on the Hampton Police Department's Facebook page reads.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has also been notified.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
