Police say a suspect is in custody after eight people were killed in shootings at three separate locations late Saturday. The shootings occurred in three different homes in Lincoln County, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said Sunday. Details on the incident were scarce, and Strain said it would be “premature” at this point to discuss a motive. It was not immediately clear if the suspect knew his victims. Charges against the suspect are pending. The Clarion-Ledger said one of its reporters was at the scene when the suspect was arrested Sunday. The newspaper identified the suspect as Cory Godbolt, who reportedly told the paper he carried out the shootings because he loved his wife and children. In a video taken at the scene, a man identified as Godbolt can be heard telling the reporter about an apparent custody battle for his children, saying he was talking to his wife about taking his kids when bystanders intervened. “My intention was to have God kill me. I ran out of bullets. Suicide by cop was my intention,” he said.
