Seven people were found fatally shot in four residences in Tyrone, Missouri, after a girl reported hearing gunshots at one of the homes Thursday night, said Sgt. Jeff Kinder of the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Friday morning.
An eighth body -- that of an elderly woman who apparently died of natural causes -- was found in a fifth residence during the investigation, Kinder said.
A suspect in the shootings -- a 36-year-old man -- was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot in a vehicle in an adjacent county, Kinder said. Another person was found injured.
