An Oklahoma sex offender shot six people in the head and then himself, an Oklahoma police chief Wednesday.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said that the victims all sustained between one and three wounds to the head. He said that Jesse McFadden, 39, then shot himself.
"The evidence is that Jesse McFadden murdered six people and then killed himself. Beyond that, I don't know what his thought process was," Prentice said. "I'm not going to express a theory because I follow the evidence, and I don't have any evidence about what the motive was."
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
