A Georgia man accused of killing three people and injuring a fourth was arrested and jailed Friday.
Investigators had been looking for Shannon Box, 56, of Tignall, Georgia, since Thursday morning after they discovered three people dead and a woman injured.
Wilkes County sheriff’s deputies found Box at a rural church on Friday morning after someone called to say they had seen the man, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Box was arrested “without incident,” the GBI said.
Box is charged with murder, aggravated assault and possessing a knife while committing a crime. He is being held at the Wilkes County Jail in Washington. It is unclear whether he has a lawyer representing him or whether he has seen a judge.
Wilkes County deputies responded to a home in Tignall on Thursday regarding a report of an injured woman. During the investigation, they learned the woman had been hurt at another home and when they went to the second home they found three people dead inside, investigators have said.
