8 dead in Mississippi shooting rampage, suspect in custody

BROOKHAVEN, Miss. — A man who apparently got into a dispute with his wife and in-laws was arrested in a house-to-house shooting rampage in rural Mississippi that left eight people dead, including a sheriff’s deputy.

Authorities told CBS affiliate WJTV that the suspect is 35-year-old Willie Corey Godbolt of Bogue Chitto.

The shootings took place at three homes Saturday night — two in Brookhaven and one in Bogue Chitto — about 70 miles south of Jackson, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said. The rampage began after authorities got a call about a domestic dispute, investigators said.
