A man who went on a shooting rampage after a domestic argument is accused of killing eight people, including his mother-in-law and a sheriff's deputy, at three different residences in Mississippi.
After Willie Corey Godbolt, 35, of Bogue Chitto, was arrested around 7am on Sunday, he toldThe Clarion-Ledger he got into an argument with his estranged wife over their children on Saturday night.
Neighbors called the police, and Godbolt allegedly killed responding deputy William Durr, 36, around 11:30pm along with three women at the home in the 2800 block of Lee Drive in Bogue Chitto. Godbolt's wife fled the scene with her step-father.
Godbolt then made his way to the 1600 block of Coopertown Road, in Brockhaven, about 15 miles away, where the bodies of two juvenile boys were found, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations said.
A man and a woman were found dead at a third crime scene at the 300 block of East Lincoln Road before Godbolt was arrested Sunday morning, more than seven hours after the first shooting broke out.
Godbolt, who faces charges of one count of capital murder and seven counts of first degree murder, told the Clarion-Ledger he 'ran out of bullets' and planned to die by committing 'suicide by cop'.
'I ain't fit to live, not after what I done,' a handcuffed Godbolt told the local newspaper.
