6 Dead After Gunman Goes On Shooting Spree in Mississippi

Six people were killed in the rural town of  Arkabutla, Mississippi, on Friday in what authorities say was a “series of shootings.” 

The suspect was taken into custody and identified as Richard Dale Crum

He’s been charged with first-degree murder, with additional charges expected to be filed.

“Please pray for the victims of this tragic violence and their families at this time,” Gov Reeves said. 

Arkabutla, in Tate County, is a small, unincorporated community about 20 miles south of the Mississippi-Tennessee border.

Shooting victims were found at four locations; outside a store on Arkabutla Road, inside a home on Bend Road, and inside a home on Arkabutla Dam Road, local TV station WMC reported.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has been called in to assist with the investigation, USA Today reported.
