US Army Patrol Alabama Streets After Shooting
US Army soldiers from Fort Rucker patrol the downtown area of Samson, Alabama after the shooting spree.
US police say a gunman who shot himself after killing 10 people in Alabama had kept a hit list of those he held grudges against.
Twenty-eight-year-old Michael McLendon’s victims included his mother, grandmother, two cousins and an uncle.
His attack spanned three towns in Alabama and took just under an hour.
He killed himself after he was cornered by police, ending the deadliest shooting in the state’s history.
Corporal Steve Jarrett from the Alabama State Police says the gunman was heavily armed.
“McLendon was armed with two assault rifles – an SKS and a Bushmaster using high capacity magazines taped together – a shotgun and a .38-caliber handgun,” he said.
“At this time, we believe that he fired in excess of 200 rounds during the assaults.”
