Two men have been killed and three others injured in a spate of attacks which police believed were committed by the same offender.
Police in the US have arrested a man suspected of killing two homeless men and wounding three others over the last fortnight. The suspect was arrested in Washington DC, where some of the attacks took place, with others occurring in New York City. One of the victims was found on fire in a tent in DC, while another was found dead in a sleeping bag in New York. Police said ballistics evidence linked the incidents to a single firearm and that a sole suspect was being sought. What happened? The shootings began on 3 March when police in DC were alerted by the sound of gunshots. The victim in that case was taken to hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Another victim in DC was found on 8 March, again with non-life threatening injuries.
