Gunman kills nine and then turns gun on himself.
SAMSON, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say at 10 people have been shot and killed in two south Alabama towns, including the gunman.
The Alabama Department of Safety says at least four shootings by a single gunman left at least nine people dead before he killed himself.
The department says in a statement that the shootings began late Tuesday afternoon in Samson. The shooter killed five people in one home and one each in two other homes.
The gunman then shot at a state trooper's car, striking the vehicle seven times and wounding the trooper with broken glass.
Police pursued him to Reliable Metal Products just north of Geneva, where he fired an estimated 30 rounds.
The statement says the gunman then went in the business and shot himself.
