A second suspect has been arrested over a mass shooting in Sacramento that killed six people and wounded 12 in California’s capital, and police say he is the brother of the first suspect.

Smiley Martin, 27, was arrested while being treated in hospital with serious injuries from the gunfire. When he is fit for jail, he will be charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun, a police statement said.
