At least six people have died in a series of shootings in the US state of Mississippi, local investigators say.
All the victims were in close proximity to each other in the small town of Arkabutla, about 45 miles (72km) south of Memphis, in neighbouring Tennessee.
Three victims were found dead inside two houses, while others were found inside a store, in a car and on a roadway.
Police confirmed to BBC News they have a suspected gunman in custody.
The state bureau of investigation is assisting local police with the investigation.
Friday's incident marks the 73rd mass shooting since the year began, according to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA) non-profit research database. GVA defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed.

The mother of a six-year-old boy has been arrested after he brought a gun to his primary school in Virginia - the latest such incident in the US state.
Police were called to Little Creek Elementary School in the city of Norfolk on Thursday afternoon, where staff gave them the handgun.
No-one was injured, but one mother says the boy threatened to shoot her daughter in class.

If there is any nation on the planet earth you would insist should never have access to a single gun it would be America every single time.

Perfectly normal. Nothing to see here.

Tennessee's republican U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn(R) received $1.3 million in donations from the NRA, the most of any elected official. Tn. congressman(R)Tim Burchett was asked for his thoughts right after the school shootings and says "were not going to fix it, my pappy was in WW-2, etc.." He was then asked about how he's handling his young daughters safety and responds, "Oh,we have them in home school." Republicans also cried out again for the arming of teachers after words. They expect the same teachers they don't trust to hand out books, to be fully armed while teaching.
Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

Probably true, but to an outsider it just seems Americans on the whole won't be changing anything anytime soon, irrespective of who is in charge; each party has surely had enough chance to fix this beyond "thoughts & prayers"?

And again
A gunman has shot and killed eight people shopping at a mall north of Dallas, Texas, emergency services say.
Hundreds of people were evacuated from the Allen Premium Outlets mall as eyewitnesses described a man firing indiscriminately at passers-by.
A police officer on an unrelated call killed the gunman after hearing shots.
Some of the victims are reported to be children. At least seven people are being treated in hospital, three of whom are critically ill.
Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said seven people - including the gunman - were pronounced dead at the scene and two died later in hospital.
A police officer at the mall "heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect and neutralised the suspect," Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said.
The victims' ages range from 5 to 51, according to a hospital spokesperson.
Some witnesses described the gunman as dressed all in black and wearing combat gear. Footage taken after the gunman's death appeared to show an AR-15 style rifle lying near his body.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott described the shooting as an "unspeakable tragedy" and said the state was ready to offer any assistance to local authorities.
US police have asked members of the public with video captured at the scene to contact the FBI, as they collect evidence.
One eyewitness at the mall, Fontayne Payton, told the AP news agency he heard gunshots though his headphones as he shopped at H&M.
When people were allowed to leave the mall, he described seeing bodies outside.
"I pray it wasn't kids, but it looked like kids," he said. "It broke me when I walked out to see that."
Allen Mayor Ken Fulk called it "a tragic day" for the city. "Allen is a proud and safe city, which makes today's senseless act of violence even more shocking," he said on the city's website.
"However, I want to commend our police and fire departments for their quick response. Their thorough training not to hesitate to move toward the threat likely saved more lives today."
Texas Senator John Cornyn tweeted that he was "grieving with the Allen community" and praised the quick response of "all of those involved in responding to this afternoon's horrific incident".
Earlier this week police in Texas arrested a man accused of shooting dead five neighbours, including a nine-year-old boy.
Francisco Oropesa was found hiding in a cupboard after a four-day manhunt.
