Police to release more shooting information this morning

Jackson police say they will release more information about last night's apparent murder-suicide on Mary Street this morning. Just before 8:30 a.m. Jackson Police Lt. Rodney Barnes said a press release would soon be sent to media outlets that will provide more information on last night's fatal shooting.

Police said there were five victims -- three children and two adults. Family members named the shooter, who apparently took his own life with a gunshot to the head, as Shahin Moshiri. The victims appear to be members of his family, including a 4-year-old who died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Two of the surviving victims were taken to Saint Francis Medical Center for emergency care where they were treated for severe injuries. Another was reportedly flown by helicopter to St. Louis.

Cape Girardeau County Coroner John Clifton said he doesn't have information on the condition of the survivors. However Clifton said an autopsy will be conducted today on the two dead victims, and results may be available this evening.
