Six people in a community of only 285 were killed in a shooting rampage on Friday.
A small community in Mississippi is in shock following a fatal shooting spree on Friday.
Six people were killed by gunfire that rattled four different locations in Arkabutla, according to Reuters. The unincorporated community is about 30 miles south of the Mississippi-Tennessee border and included only 285 residents as of the 2020 U.S. census.
Shortly after the killings, police arrested Richard Dale Crum, 52, charging him with first-degree murder, according to the Tate County Sheriff’s Office. He is being held without bond in Tate County Jail. Additional charges are expected to be filed “in the coming days.”
Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance told CNN that police were first alerted by a 911 call at around 11 a.m. local time, when, police said, the suspect shot and killed a person parked in a vehicle next to him outside a store in Arkabutla.
