Five people are dead, including the suspected gunman, in two shootings yesterday that police called a “horrific murder spree” in Johnson County, Kentucky. Paintsville authorities received a 911 call at 3:33 p.m. about a shooting at a residence in the McKenzie Branch community. Price and responding deputies found two victims dead in the kitchen. Those victims were identified today as Arlene and Wayne Nickell, who the coroner says are the parents of the suspected gunman, Joseph Nickell. Deputies later received a tip that the suspect’s vehicle was on Mill Street in Paintsville. Deputies say two additional victims, identified today as Joseph Nickell’s girlfriend Lindsay Vanhoose and her mother Patricia Vanhoose, were found dead inside an apartment. Police say Nickell took his own life after committing the murders.
