WEST POINT, Miss. (AP) — A 24-year-old Mississippi man killed six people — his father, brother, uncle, 7-year-old cousin, a church pastor, and the pastor’s brother — during a shooting spree on Friday night, according to police reports. Daricka M. Moore was arrested after a police roadblock in Cedarbluff just before midnight. Moore is currently in the Clay County jail facing multiple murder charges without bail. Clay County District Attorney Scott Colom has indicated he may pursue the death penalty. A situation like this, you’ve got a family member attacking their own family, commented Sheriff Eddie Scott, expressing hope that the motive will soon become clear. The shootings reportedly began at the family's home before Moore proceeded to a cousin's residence where he fatally shot a child, and then to a church where further killings occurred. Investigators are still piecing together the sequence of events and the weapons used.
