Mississippi Shooting: Six Dead, Including a Child and Pastor

A 24-year-old man, Darika Moore, has been arrested in Mississippi and charged with the murder of six people, including a 7-year-old child and a pastor. Moore is alleged to have killed family members, including his father, brother, and uncle, before stealing a van and going to another location where he is accused of attempted sexual assault and the murder of the child. He then killed two more individuals, one of whom was a pastor. The prosecutor described the crime as “horrific” and stated that the motive remains unclear. The community is in shock, and Moore faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. Police continue to investigate the case.
