WEST POINT, Miss. (AP): Authorities in northeast Mississippi are investigating a horrific shooting spree that left six people dead across three locations in Clay County on Friday night. The victims included multiple members of the same family, a local church pastor, and the pastor’s brother.
According to officials, Daricka M. Moore, 24, is accused of killing his father, brother, uncle, a 7-year-old cousin, a church pastor, and the pastor’s brother during the rampage. Law enforcement agencies from local, state, and federal levels responded as the situation unfolded.
