SAMSON, Ala. (AP) -- Police say at least seven people were shot and killed in south Alabama, including the gunman.
Samson police dispatcher Jim Stromenger says six people were confirmed dead in that town Tuesday.
Samson Police Chief Gary Weeks says the suspect was shot and killed. But it is unclear whether it was self-inflicted or whether he was shot by police near the Reliable Metal Products company outside Geneva.
Stromenger says the gunman started firing at a gas station in Samson, shooting a woman there.
He says he then went to a home where he shot five people.
Stromenger says the shooter then drove 12 miles east to Geneva and shot people there before he was killed.
The towns of Geneva and Samson are near the Florida border in southeast Alabama.
