(NewYorkPost) - Eight people were killed in overnight shootings in southern Missouri — and the gunman was found dead early Friday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to reports.
The attacks occurred in various locations in and around the town of Tyrone, in Texas County, about 40 miles north of the Arkansas border, police said. The victims were found at four separate homes.
The 36-year-old suspect — who was found dead in Shannon County — and the victims have not yet been named. A motive for the killings and possible ties between the shooter and victims were not immediately clear.
Texas County Sheriff James Sigman told the Houston Herald that there are four confirmed crime scenes at Tyrone, a possible fifth location and a sixth outside of Texas County in Shannon County.
He declined to provide any additional information.
An elderly woman, whose body was found in another residence, appeared to have died from natural causes, Reuters reported.
One wounded person found at a residence was taken to a hospital, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. Full Story
