Nine people dead after shooting rampage in Missouri

gunTYRONE, MISSOURI – Nine people are dead after a small-town Missouri man went on a shooting rampage.

On the evening of February 26, 2015, at approximately 10:15 PM, the Texas County Sheriff’s Department requested assistance with a disturbance involving a weapon at a residence in Tyrone, Missouri. A juvenile female caller indicated she was in the residence and apparently heard gun shots. She immediately fled to a neighbor’s house to notify authorities. Responding deputies found two deceased persons at this residence. Further investigation revealed five additional victims who were deceased and one additional victim who was wounded in three additional residences. All three residences were in Tyrone. Another residence revealed the body of a deceased elderly female who appeared to have died from natural causes. The apparent suspect, a 36-year-old male from Tyrone, was found dead in a vehicle at a location in Shannon County from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. There are a total of nine deceased individuals, including the elderly female and the suspect. The injured victim was taken to a nearby hospital.

As part of the ongoing investigation into the multiple homicides in Texas County, the names of some of the shooting victims are being made available for release at this time.
