Iowa man suspected of shooting 6 relatives before turning gun on himself when confronted by cops: ‘Act of evil’
A crazed gunman is suspected of killing six family members before turning the weapon on himself – and authorities believe the “act of evil” stemmed from a domestic dispute.
Ryan Willis McFarland, 52, was named as the perpetrator behind Monday’s rampage in Muscatine, Iowa, about 50 miles southeast of Cedar Rapids, and bodies were found across several locations, KWQC reported.
Two of the victims were Muscatine Community School District students and two were employees of the district, school officials told the outlet.

“Today I simply do not have the words — this act of evil and what it has done to our community,” Muscatine Police Chief Anthony Kies said.
“Preliminary findings indicate the shootings stemmed from a domestic‑related dispute.”
