Man arrested after 6 people fatally gunned down near the Mississippi-Tennessee border

Quote:
A suspect was arrested after six people were killed in gunfire Friday afternoon in a small Mississippi town outside Memphis, officials said.

The shootings happened about 12:30 p.m. CST in Arkabutla, Tate County, which is about 40 miles south of downtown Memphis, Tennessee, officials said.

A Tate County Sheriff's spokesperson said there were "multiple fatalities" and "we have arrested the guy who did it."

Arkabutla has a population of just 285 and its best-known native son is EGOT actor James Earl Jones, who was born there Jan. 17, 1931.
