He took them by surprise: 3 dead, 2 hurt in shooting spree (Tennessee)

A gunman killed three relatives in a surprise attack witnessed by several children in a home in eastern Tennessee, authorities said. The 19-year-old attacker was shot and wounded by another family member during his getaway and was captured a short time later, the Sullivan County sheriff's office said. A half-dozen children were in the home during the shooting spree and one girl was injured, Sheriff Wayne Anderson said.

Two women with gunshot wounds were found in the kitchen when authorities arrived Saturday evening, he said. They were pronounced dead at the scene. A man found on the front porch with gunshot wounds was airlifted to a hospital, where he later died, the sheriff said.

Darrell Grey said he was on his patio next door when the shooting began. He said he heard a barrage of 10 to 12 gunshots and screaming. The rampage lasted less than a minute, he said.

"Everything happened so fast," he said in a phone interview Sunday. "It was just a barrage of 'pow, pow, pow.'"

Interestingly, the gun nuts seem more concerned about EarlG's graphic and trying to taunt me into posting something they could get hidden than about people dying. Funny, that. Well, no, not really.
