A gunman went door to door in a small south-central Missouri community late Thursday, fatally shooting 7 people before driving to an adjoining county and apparently killing himself, State Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Kinder said Friday.

Texas County deputies investigating the killings in the unincorporated community of Tyrone, Mo., also found the body of an elderly woman who is believed to have died of natural causes. "We're not calling her a victim at this time," Kinder told reporters in Houston, Mo.

Kinder did not release the names of the dead or explain any possible connection between the victims and the 36-year-old man suspected in the killings.

The deputies found bodies in four separate residences in the Tyrone area after responding to a 911 call around 10:15 p.m. Thursday regarding a disturbance. The caller, described as a juvenile girl, reported hearing shots in her residence "and immediately fled to a neighbor's house," the statement said.

Deputies found two bodies at the first house then five more bodies -- plus an injured person -- at three more houses. The body of the deceased elderly woman was found at yet another residence as deputies canvassed the area, the highway patrol said.

The gunman's body was found in a car in Shannon County to the east.

Somrbody who goes door to door isn't stupid necessarily. He's mentally disturbed.

I don't mean to take away from the topic, but the county is really named Tyrone? Is that a normal name for a county, I just have never heard a county with a common name. Just seems strange...

It could be argued that anybody who intentionally kills another human being (outside of self defense) is mentally disturbed.

News report just said he killed other family members

Really sad. People local to the area on Reddit are saying that the woman who died of natural causes was the mother of the shooter and had been dead at least 24 hours, with most of the dead being family members of the shooter and the rest a family that owned a local business that he'd not been able to get work from. Spared at 10 year old boy and 15 year old girl also related to him.

Exactly like No Country for Old Men, pointless, stupid, and something none of us should have to see or read about again.
