A 22-year-old man is believed to be responsible for the fatal shootings of three of his family members before allegedly turning the gun on himself in an apparent murder-suicide at a hotel in Fairbanks, Alaska on Friday.

According to People, the Fairbanks Police Department’s initial investigation shows that McKay Hutton allegedly shot his mother, Linda Hutton, 54; wife, Emily McDonald, 22; and two-month-old son, Teagan Hutton, before killing himself. The motive for the killings is still under investigation at this time.

Alaska Dispatch News reports that police first responded to a call regarding “suspicious circumstance” at a Fairbanks area Hampton Inn and Suites on Friday afternoon. Officers then discovered a man crying in hotel’s second-floor hallway, who led them to the room where they discovered Hutton and his alleged three victims.

“The man in the hallway was identified as a family member,” police said in a statement on Saturday. “Preliminary investigation showed he was not present during the shooting. His name is not being released at this time.”

Police have stated they have no reason to believe alcohol or drugs were involved in the shootings. The four bodies will be flown to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage, Alaska for autopsies on Monday.

For dumping her new baby boy on a refuse dump, a middle aged woman is now cooling her heels in Police custody in Jigawa.

Malam Sa’idu Aliyu, the State Commandant of the Jigawa Hisbah Guards, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Dutse that the suspect (names withheld) was arrested by the guards on October 29.

NAN reports that Hisbah is the Sharia Law enforcement agency in the state.

According to Aliyu, the suspect is a resident of Bulakalu Village in Dutse Local Government Area.

He said that the woman dumped the baby in Shuwarin Village in Kiyawa Local Government Area of the state.

The commandant said that the baby was picked by a `good Samaritan’, who took him to the district head of the community and later reported the incident to the police.

According to Aliyu, upon receiving the report, Hisbah deployed its intelligence officers to the two local government areas to fish out the mother of the baby.

Aliyu told NAN that the guards eventually got an intelligence report that a woman in Bulakalu Village gave birth to the baby.

“The residents said they had not been seeing the suspect with her baby.

“We invited the suspect to our office where she confessed to being the mother of the boy.

“She also confirmed that she was the one who personally dumped the baby, because of fear of stigmatisation for giving birth out of wedlock,’’ he said.

Aliyu said that the baby was in good health and in the custody of a woman in Shuwarin Village, pending the conclusion of investigations into the case.

He said the suspect had been handed over to the Police for further action.
