It’s unlikely now that Dadeville meets the single killer requirement since 3 people have been arrested.

> Seven bodies, including two that investigators believe belong to two missing teenage girls, were found Monday afternoon at an Oklahoma residence of a man who authorities were seeking in the teens' disappearance, officials said.

Six killings since one of the bodies was the killer. It is not clear if this was a mass killing or a serial killer.

Yes, I am awaiting news on this. Now I am getting reports it was a mass killing. He was a sex offender on trial for soliciting sexual contact with a minor and possessing juvenile pornography. Seems to be his wife, 2 stepsons, step daughter and her 2 friends. I will deal with this later in the day.

Reading Reddit the victims appear to be

1. the killer’s wife
2. the wife’s daughter and 2 sons from a previous marriage and
3. two girls who were friends with the daughter who were doing a sleepover with her

The killer then committed suicide.

I am seeing seven killed by the shooter. He was then killed by the police. Am I mistaken?
