Three People Killed, Four Injured in US Shootings
Three people were killed and four others injured Tuesday night as a man opened fire in Rifle City of Colorado in the United States, said reports Wednesday.
Mike Stagner, 42, who was brandishing a pistol in the City Market parking lot Tuesday night when police responded to the shootings, was arrested and is the only suspect, the reports quoted local police as saying.
City Manager Selby Myers said police were investigating whether the shootings were race-related. Stagner is white and the victims were believed to be Latino.
Police were investigating what incited the shooter and any possible motive. They believe Stagner did not know any of the victims, Myers said.
Stagner opened fire at the City Market grocery store and at two places inside the Bookcliff RV Park, police said.
Rifle, about 320 kilometers west of Denver, has a population of 5,600 people.
