Sex offender fatally shot 6, then killed self, official says
An Oklahoma sex offender shot six people in the head and then himself, an Oklahoma police chief Wednesday.
Okmulgee Police Chief Joe Prentice said that the victims all sustained between one and three wounds to the head. He said that Jesse McFadden, 39, then shot himself.
“The evidence is that Jesse McFadden murdered six people and then killed himself. Beyond that, I don’t know what his thought process was,” Prentice said. “I’m not going to express a theory because I follow the evidence, and I don’t have any evidence about what the motive was.”
Earlier Wednesday, a woman whose daughter and three grandchildren were among the seven bodies found on a rural Oklahoma property said that sheriff’s investigators told her that her son-in-law, a convicted sex offender, shot all six victims in the head before killing himself.
Janette Mayo said investigators with the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office told her Wednesday that McFadden, 39, shot and killed all the victims, including her daughter, Holly Guess, 35, before turning the gun on himself.
“They were all shot in the head,” Mayo said. “My daughter was shot multiple times.”
