The gunman randomly targeted people and property in seven locations, USA Today reported, citing an undersheriff of the local sheriff's office. The shooter was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns.
Police did not give immediate word on the assailant's motive for the shooting but a sheriff's official said the gunman's neighbors had reported a domestic violence incident, according to the Associated Press.
