The Missouri State High Patrol confirmed eight people were shot and killed in several incidents spanning at least four crime scenes.


After 10 p.m. Thursday night the Texas County Sheriff's department received a call about gunshots heard in Tyrone, Missouri. When officers arrived at the scene they found two people dead in the home.


Five more people were found dead and another wounded in three additional houses. The person injured was taken to a nearby hospital. It is still unclear if and how the deaths are related.


An apparent suspect, who the Missouri State Highway Patrol said is a 36-year-old male, was found dead in a vehicle in Shannon County from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wood.


The investigation is ongoing. Authorities will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. ET.
