Six Murders, One Suicide

Six murders are being linked to a man who killed himself this morning at a hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Police say the killing spree started on Thursday with the death of psychiatrist Steven Pitt.  The next day, two paralegals were shot and killed, and another psychologist was found dead early Saturday.  Two more people were found dead in the nearby community of Fountain Hills.  Scottsdale police investigators say ballistics linked the first four murders, while work is still underway to investigate the Fountain Hills deaths.  Police say the suspect, Dwight Lamon Jones, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a hotel this morning as a SWAT team closed in on him.  Police believe Jones intended to target people connected to his divorce years ago.
