The county coroner reported the suspect had died shortly before 7:30 p.m.
The GBI also sent investigators to Evans County after a shooting that sent multiple people, including the suspect, to the hospital.
According to investigators, at around 7:30 p.m. officials in Bulloch County received a 911 call about a shooting on Ruffins Road in Claxton, Georgia.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they found one man with multiple gunshot wounds. As they were searching for the gunman, officials say another man and woman arrived to check on family members who could have been involved.
At that time, investigators say 41-year-old Paul Alexander Eason opened fire at the man and woman's car - hitting them both. Deputies and officers with the Claxton Police Department then shot Eason.
All three victims and Eason were taken to nearby hospitals and are all in stable condition.
