Gunman `cleaned his family out' in rampage http://www.wtvynews4.com/home/headlines/41093572.html
SAMSON, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Alabama say a gunman who killed ten people across two rural counties started with his mother, setting her on fire at her home. In addition to McLendon's mother, the dead include four other relatives and the wife and child of a local sheriff's deputy. The shooting is believed to be the worst mass killing by a single gunman in Alabama's history. Grieving residents fear the answer to the question, "why," could have been lost when Michael McLendon took his own life. Coffee County Coroner Robert Preachers says McLendon "cleaned his family out," but authorities "don't know what triggered it." McLendon killed himself at a local plant where he once worked in a mostly rural area near the Florida border. After getting a look at the ammunition he was carrying, investigators say they believe he had intended to kill people at the plant. -- http://www.cband.info - Listen to RadioFree Dishnuts 24/7 from cyberspace & some programmes are carried on KU Band Free To Air on SkyScanner Satellite Radio Network *********************************** * POST TO MEDIANEWS@ETSKYWARN.NET * *********************************** Medianews mailing list Medianews@etskywarn.net http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
