Six people were killed in a shooting spree on Monday in the US state of Iowa, police said. The suspected gunman later died from a self‑inflicted gunshot wound as officers confronted him.
The series of homicides occurred at two residences and a business in Muscatine, the Muscatine Police Department said in a statement.
Police said four of the victims were found dead inside the same residence.
Preliminary findings indicate that the shootings stemmed from a domestic‑related dispute. All of the victims are believed to be family members of the deceased suspect, police said.
Authorities received reports of the shooting at approximately 12:12 pm local time (1712GMT), and responding officers from the Muscatine Police Department discovered all four victims deceased when they arrived.
