The same man, who shot himself, is believed responsible for shootings at two locations in Jonesboro that left three other people dead and four wounded, KAIT reports. Identifications haven’t been released and details are lacking as to motive, but police plan an update this morning.

UPDATE: KAIT updates on the identities of the people involved. Authorities believe the shooter killed himself and that he knew the people he shot, but other explanations for events remain sketchy. The shooter had been released recently from a mental hospital. It is still unclear how he obtained the .357 magnum used in the shooting. It apparently had to be reloaded for the multiple gunshots.
