A University of Georgia professor who killed his wife and two others before fleeing was targeting her male friend, authorities said Tuesday.

George Zinkhan, 57, and wife Marie Bruce had been having marital problems at the time of the April 25 shooting spree.

Zinkhan, a marketing professor at the University of Georgia's Atlanta campus, was specifically targeting a Clemson University economist who volunteered with Bruce, 47, at the local theater group.

Authorities said Zinkhan fired at Tom Tanner, 40, first before aiming at Bruce. The exact nature of the relationship between Bruce and Tanner wasn't immediately clear.
