Six innocents were killed around lunchtime Monday when a man allegedly opened fire on family members in Muscatine, Iowa.
KCCI noted that police were dispatched to a resident at 12:12 p.m. and arrived to find four deceased individuals inside.
FOX News reported that 52-year-old Ryan Willis McFarland was allegedly at the first residence before police arrived and is believed to have killed all six of the deceased individuals.
Police later discovered McFarland on the city’s riverfront trail, where he had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Two other deceased individuals were discovered later in the day: one in a another residence and one in a business. The two additional deceased individuals had also been shot.
Muscatine Police Chief Anthony Kies indicated that all the deceased are related and the incident is believed to stem from a domestic dispute.
