Police gather outside one of the scenes of mutliple slayings in Fayetteville, Tennessee, on Saturday.

Sheriff Murray Blackwelder, who held an afternoon news conference, called the slayings "one of the worst crimes Lincoln County has ever seen." He didn't describe how the people died.

The suspect, Jacob Lee Shafer, has been questioned by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and is to be charged in that state with murder in the deaths of five people in Tennessee and one person in Alabama, Helm said. She added that authorities are not looking for additional suspects.

Five people, some of whom were related, were found dead in two nearby homes in Fayetteville, Tennessee, Helm told CNN. Investigators think the killings occurred either Friday night or early Saturday, she said.

4. The NRA will be coming for him

“manufactured for nothing other than to hunt man.”

Haven't we been saying that for ages?

with the microphones and cameras all trained on him.

And I love that man for it...........................

6. True but note this part

Chief Comey said he did not want his comment about the gun used by Mr. Hosendove to be misconstrued. “I am not, nor is any chief I know, antigun,” he said. “We’re anti-irresponsible-gun-owner and anti-irresponsible-gun-dealer.”

Super comment. No doubt some jackass 'misconstrued' his comment.

8. Yep, I knew you'd see that -

the Chief is smart, and knows exactly the kind of jackasses he's dealing with.....................

9. The good news is that he didn't

take the bait. I like that man.

12. It was a freaking shotgun for chris' sake

which makes his comment idiotic at best..

You know, a shotgun, as in any type of bird hunting (ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, doves, partridge, snipe, chukar, turkey, etc), Olympic trap & skeet...that kind of shotgun...

You might want to place the blame on whoever killed these people.

14. Where does it say a gun was involved?

I mean I grant you that is most likely the weapon, but I couldn't find it in the link.
