CNN reports that 21-year-old Jarid Haddock tried to enter an ARCO gas station about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday but the doors were locked, so he walked to the Circle K.

Once inside the Circle K he allegedly shot and killed two people then exited and shot and killed a third person.

The Daily Mail notes that Haddock then allegedly barricaded himself inside a home about two miles from the Circle K.

CNN points out that Haddock is now in custody.
