Seven people were shot to death and one was injured in overnight attacks in a small Missouri town, and the suspected gunman was found dead in a neighboring county, AP quoted the Missouri State Highway Patrol as saying Friday. The victims' bodies were found in four different homes in Tyrone, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) from the Arkansas border. The 36-year-old suspect was later found in a vehicle dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, patrol spokesman Sgt. Jeff Kinder said. The Sheriff's office received a call about 10:15 p.m. Thursday from a young woman who said she had fled to a neighbor's home after hearing gunshots in her house, Kinder said. When officers arrived, they found two people dead in that home. Officers later found five more victims and one injured person in three additional homes. The body of an older woman was found in another home but she appeared to have died of natural causes, Kinder said. The names of the victims, the gunman and a possible motive have not been released. The injured person was taken to a hospital. Coroner Tom Whittaker said investigators were still working at the scenes Friday morning. -- SPA 18:36 LOCAL TIME 15:36 GMT تغريد
