Authorities from multiple agencies took Willie Cory Godbolt into custody in Brookhaven Sunday morning after they say he killed eight people, including  Lincoln County Deputy William Durr, 36.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain, in a news release, said the shooting spree began at about 11:30 p.m. with a domestic call at 2871 Lee Drive in Bogue Chitto.

Four bodies — three females and the deputy — were recovered there. The second crime scene was located at 1658 Coopertown Road in Brookhaven. The bodies of two juvenile males were located there.

The third crime scene was located at 312 East Lincoln Road. A male and a female were recovered at that location.

Strain said authorities are waiting on the notification of next of kin before releasing the names of the other seven victims...
