A lone shooter killed eight people in central Virginia, with seven bodies found at one home, police said Tuesday.
State police said officers had the suspect, Christopher Speight, 39, encircled in the woods late Tuesday near the home and they believed he was still alive. The eighth shooting victim was found on the side of the road and died on the way to the hospital, police said. All the victims were adults and included men and women, state police Sgt. Thomas Molnar said.
Police refused to speculate on a motive and would not say what type of weapon was used. Molnar also gave no background on the suspect.
The violence began shortly after noon when the injured man was found on a rural stretch of road. A deputy who went to investigate fled after he heard gunshots, police spokeswoman Corrine Geller said.
"When the deputy arrived on the scene, that's when he heard several shots," Molnar said.
Police did not release the victims' names or the suspect's possible relationship to them.

Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.
