10 people killed in Alabama shooting rampage!!! That's where MARC is heading and where FANG is going in 3 weeks' time ya???
A gunman in the southern state of Alabama went on a shooting rampage, killing at least nine people before turning the gun fatally on himself, Alabama department of public safety said.
Authorities were "responding to a series of at least four shooting incidents involving what is believed to be a single gunman who left at least nine victims dead before he died from a self-inflicted gunshot," it said in a statement.
"This is a very complicated investigation that is unfolding," it added.
The Alabama office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is also cooperating in the investigation, a spokeswoman told AFP.
Police began to uncover the grisly aftermath of the gunman's rage late Tuesday afternoon, when four adults and a child were found shot to death inside a residence in the town of Samson, authorities said.
Then, two more adults were found dead in two separate residences nearby, the statement said.
"It is believed the gunman left that location, traveling on Alabama route 52 where he shot at a state trooper's vehicle, striking the vehicle seven times and slightly wounding the trooper due to broken glass," it said.
The gunman, who was not identified, gunned down another individual at Samson Pipe and Supply and then another victim at a service station before heading to Reliable Metal Products where he "fired an estimated 30-round burst."
The local police chief was grazed by a bullet but escaped serious injury because he was wearing a bullet-resistant vest.
The gunman entered the facility and "within minutes, shots were heard from within Reliable Metal, and law enforcement officers found him dead from what are believed to be self-inflicted gunshots," the statement said.

Hey dajie, how come im not surprised that you just posted that "big" news hehe thanks so much for the concern. No need to worry at all because we live in Fort Rucker which is a military base so not all psychos can come in. This base here got hospital, dentist, shopping center, fast food, cinema, bowling alley, grocery shop, museum and alot more so amazingly we don't even have to step out of the base....lesser exposure to the "wildlife" in alabama hehe However we do plan to take road trips to atlanta and florida, there will be 4 of us including fang jie so we will watch each other's back. Will write my first blog here (sorry ah jia :p) when i get my internet up and running in my room, right now its 0651hrs and im sitting in the accomodation lobby typing this out as i watch soldier after soldier walk past me.
