  • Six people killed in Monday’s Muscatine shootings were publicly identified, including victims ages 13 to 51 whose names were read at a community vigil Tuesday night.
  • Police say the deaths stemmed from a domestic dispute involving 52-year-old Ryan Willis McFarland, who fatally shot four people at a Park Avenue home before two more victims were found elsewhere.
  • Officers later located one dead man at a Mill Street residence and another at a Grandview Avenue business; police said all six victims were believed to be McFarland’s family members.
  • Two victims were students and two others worked for the Muscatine Community School District, which opened counseling support at several schools as the investigation continues.
