Gunman kills ex-wife, five others in Mississippi shooting

Al Jazeera  

Friday’s attack took place in Arkabutla, a town with about 285 residents in northern Mississippi, US. Armed with a shotgun and two handguns, 52-year-old Richard Dale Crum opened fire on Friday morning and killed a man in the driver’s seat of a pick-up truck parked outside a convenience store in Arkabutla, near the Tennessee state line, Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance said. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who regularly receives top ratings from the National Rifle Association, an influential pro-gun lobbying group, said he had been briefed on the most recent attack. ‘Epidemic’ Friday’s attack in Arkabutla, a town of about 285 residents in northern Mississippi, marked the most recent mass shooting in the US, where such attacks have become strikingly common. Gun violence is an epidemic and Congress must act now.” The message echoed the same exasperated tone struck by the president after a mass shooting at a Michigan university just four days earlier left three students dead.
