Four people were killed and three others injured during an hours-long shooting rampage late Wednesday night in Memphis, Tennessee, The Associated Press said this morning, while local media reports also said the suspect — 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly, who is now in custody — streamed at least one of the shooting incidents on Facebook Live.
Memphis Police tweeted late last night to confirm Kelly had been apprehended and that the 'shelter in place' order — to seek safety within the building you are in, rather than evacuate the area, during an emergency — had been lifted.
Late last night, as news of the shooting broke, the police released a photograph of the suspect and a description of the vehicle he was driving.
They also urged people to stay indoors till he was caught; "The suspect is still at large. If you do not have to be out, stay indoors until this is resolved," the police said.
A video of one of the shootings was posted on Facebook; news agency Reuters said it showed a man rambling "this is for real" and using coarse language as he fired twice inside a shop.
