Leigh Ann Barton feared for safety before Atlanta rampage
Leigh Ann Barton feared for her safety amid Mark O Barton’s murderous rampage that began with the hammer attack on his wife and escalated to the killings of two children and multiple coworkers. Her sister Dana Reeves recalled Leigh Ann’s devotion to Barton's children and her decision to leave him, despite ties to a jobless husband and past Alabama slayings. Police said Barton acted alone, the death toll rose to nine with thirteen wounded, and four remained critical as victims were hospitalized.
