ARKABUTLA, Miss. (AP) — A gunman authorities who authorities say killed six people in Mississippi busted into his ex-wife's home, smashed her boyfriend in the head with the butt of a gun before shooting her in the head.

That account was told by her boyfriend to The Associated Press on Saturday.

She was the alleged gunman's ex-wife.

George Drane recounted Friday's fatal attack on his girlfriend during an interview outside an convenience store in Arkabutla, Mississippi.

Authorities said 52-year-old Richard Dale Crum shot a man sitting in the driver's seat of a pickup outside that store first, then his ex-wife.

After sheriff's deputies arrested Crum at home, they found the bodies to two handymen outside and Crum's stepfather and his sister in a neighboring home.
