The victims were the school’s managers and their relatives, who live in a home behind the pre-school building and sought shelter inside it.
All six were transported to hospital, DeKalb County Emergency Management director Anthony Clifton said, where the three adults were listed in critical condition.
One other adult was reported to have lived in the home, local station WAFF said. Their condition is unknown.
