CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts authorities say a former police officer suspected in the shooting deaths of three people in a Cambridge home has fatally shot himself.
Officers responding to a call shortly before 7 p.m. for shots fired inside the Grove Street residence found three family members fatally shot. Officials say the incident appears to be a domestic dispute.
OKEMAH, Okla. (AP) — A three-year-long hunt for a suspect in the fatal shootings of two young girls in eastern Oklahoma ended Friday when authorities announced murder charges against a man who claimed he fired at two monsters on a rural road.
Kevin Sweat, 25, who was already in custody in connection with another killing, was charged in the June 2008 deaths of Taylor Placker, 13, and Skyla Whitaker, 11. An affidavit filed Friday at the Okfuskee County Courthouse said Sweat told an investigator he saw "'two monsters' come at him" and fired at them with 40 and 22 caliber handguns.
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — The man who authorities say killed a Virginia Tech police officer was described as a typical college student in many ways, making it difficult to understand why he would commit an armed robbery and then, apparently at random, target the patrolman before killing himself.
