Three people were killed in a shooting at a state park in eastern Iowa Friday morning and the suspected gunman is also dead, police said, according to The Associated Press.
Police responded to reports of the shooting at the the Maquoketa Caves State Park Campground before 6:30 a.m., Mike Krapfl, special agent in charge of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, said in a statement quoted by AP.
Krapfl said officers responding to reports of shooting found three people dead at the scene, but he did not specify how they died and has not released their identities.
He said officers searching the campground later found the body of a Nebraska man who had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities identified him as 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin.
Earlier this week, four people, including a gunman, were killed at an Indiana mall.
Police said the incident took place when a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court. He was eventually shot dead by an armed civilian.
In early July, a gunman opened fire on a Long Island, New York pool party at a high end hotel attended by 150 to 200 people, wounding three.
The shooter began firing in the lobby of the Mansion at Glen Cover, a hotel and event center, following a fight that occurred during the party.
After the shooting, the suspect got away and the NYPD began searching for him. The victims all suffered non-life-threatening bullet wounds.
