At Least 5 Killed In Arizona Shooting Rampage

p to five people have been killed in Yuma county in the U.S. state of Arizona when an elderly gunman went on a shooting spree before taking his own life, reports said on Thursday.

The cold-blooded killings occurred early Thursday across a stretch of the Arizona desert, 34 kilometers north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The assailant was identified as 73-year-old Carey Hal Dyess. Senior lawyer Jerrold Shelley, who represented Dyess' wife in their 2006 divorce, was among those killed.

Yuma police chief Jerry Geier told reporters that it was a pre-meditated attack as the victims were targeted. "This is not a random act. These victims were targeted," he added.
