MUSKOGEE, Okla. A gunman killed five children, ages 1 to 9, and his 24-year-old brother in a mass shooting early Tuesday at a home in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where they all lived together, along with the mother of the children.
Police captured the gunman, identified as Jarron Deajon Pridgeon, 25, as he fled the scene on foot around 1:30 a.m. when officers arrived at the home in response to a 911 call about gunshots in the neighborhood.
Pridgeon was jailed without bond on multiple complaints of first-degree murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Police said he refused to cooperate with investigators who sought a motive for the slayings.
Brittany Anderson, 27, the mother of the children, was seriously wounded but survived the massacre, along with three other uninjured children. She was reported conscious and stable at a hospital in nearby Tulsa.

Raven Anderson is in disbelief after her sister, Brittany, and all five of her sister's children were shot.
My sister and her children were a great family, Raven Anderson said. If they had known them, they would have loved them and cherished them.

(33,643 posts)The deceased brother was presumably the step-father to at least some of the children, given he's 24 and the oldest was 9?
And the 3 uninjured children were visiting it sounds like since the sister of the mom is saying all 5 of her sister's children were shot.
Anyways ... what kind of a man does this ... shoots his own brother, his brother's kids and step-kids, and his brother's wife?
Absolutely horrifying.
