Gunman dead after killing seven in small Missouri town

A US gunman went house to house, fatally shooting seven people and wounding one in a small southern Missouri town before apparently committing suicide in a vehicle, authorities said.
The victims were found in four different homes in the town of Tyrone about 40 miles north of the Arkansas border. The body of the 36-year-old suspect was discovered in a neighbouring county, dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, Missouri State Highway Patrol spokesman Jeff Kinder said.
