A man fired randomly from his vehicle several times while driving through a southwest Missouri city before eventually crashing into a convenience store, where he walked inside, opened
fire and left five people dead, including a
police officer and himself, police said Monday.
The gunman's motives remain unclear, Springfield police Chief Paul Williams said at a news conference, where his voice broke as he described his officers' actions.
Williams said police received reports of “multiple
shooting calls throughout the city” late Sunday starting in the south and moving north through the city's east side.
