Sex offender fatally shot 6, then killed self, official says

By SEAN MURPHY
May 3, 2023

An Oklahoma sex offender who was released from prison early shot his wife, her three children and their two friends in the head and then killed himself, authorities confirmed Wednesday as concerns grew about why he was free as his trial on new sex charges loomed.

Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said that the victims had each been shot in the head one to three times with a 9 mm pistol when they were found Monday near a creek and in a heavily wooded area in rural Oklahoma.

The bodies apparently had been moved there from where they were originally killed, the scene “staged” before Jesse McFadden, a 39-year-old convicted sex offender, killed himself, Prentice said in the first major update on the case.

The discovery of the bodies near McFadden’s home in Henryetta, a town of about 6,000 about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City, came on the very day that he was to stand trial on charges that he solicited nude images from another teen while he was imprisoned for rape.

Columbus, OH 3 dead, several others injured as police investigate 4 shooting scenes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Two people have died and numerous others were injured in four separate shootings spanning four locations across Columbus early Saturday morning.

Several victims remained in critical condition at a local hospital later Saturday morning, Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said.

Police received their first reports of gunfire at about 2:30 a.m. in the 600 block of High Street. After officers arrived at that scene, "more shots were fired a short distance away from the original location," according to a statement from Columbus police.

That statement said officers responded to that second scene and returned fire. Multiple shooting victims between those two scenes were found, although the police statement did not specify who shot whom.

Bryant said her team didn't know if any of the shootings were connected to each other, but she did opine about the prevalence of guns on Columbus streets.

"We need to figure out how do we get control of this gun situation?" she asked. "Why is everybody walking around with a weapon?"

ALLEN (CBSNewsTexas.com) — The gunman who carried out the deadly shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets Saturday afternoon has been identified as Mauricio Garcia, multiple sources told CBS News Texas. Garcia, 33, had been living at a motel and did not have any felonies, J.D. Miles reported. He was reportedly working as a security guard.

Miles added that Garcia's younger brother, Christian—who has a lengthy criminal record—has been inaccurately accused of being the gunman. President Biden has since responded to the shooting, even stating that Garcia used an AR-15 style assault weapon to carry out the massacre.

According to the Mass Shooting Tracker, Allen marked the 242nd mass shooting in the United States this year. Eight victims were killed and seven remain hospitalized. Their ages range from 5 to 51 years old.

https://www.sunherald.com/news/nation-w ... 97271.html
A 14-year-old was shot in the head as she played hide and seek, Louisiana deputies say.

Now a neighbor is facing multiple charges. David V. Doyle, 58, was arrested Sunday, May 7, after the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said he opened fire on a group of kids playing on his property and “unknowingly hit the girl.”

Deputies were called about a shooting at a home in Starks early that morning, authorities wrote in a news release. They arrived to find a teen who was shot in the back of the head.

Several kids were playing in the area and used a neighbor’s property to hide, according to the sheriff’s office. The property owner, identified as Doyle, told deputies he went inside and grabbed his gun after he saw shadows outside his home, the release said. Doyle said when he went back outside, he saw several people running from his property and opened fire.
