Serial shootings in Yuma, five dead and one injured A series of shootings occurred in Yuma on the 2nd. A 73-year-old man, dissatisfied with his divorce case, shot five people, including a lawyer, in different locations, shot and wounded one person, and then committed suicide. The details of the murder are not yet completely clear. The mayor of the city, Krieger, said that the murder occurred in several different locations in Yuma. The suspect shot and killed a woman at 6 a.m., and about 9 a.m., he went to the lawyer's office and shot lawyer Jerrold Shelley before moving to another location to commit the murder. The other victims were relatives and friends of the suspect. One person was taken to a Phoenix-area hospital with serious injuries. The shooting occurred at about 9 a.m. local time. The police received a report call at 9:30 a.m. At about 11:30 a.m., a Yuma County deputy sheriff found the suspect, Carey Hal Dyess, dead in the countryside outside Yuma City. After the shooting, police closed a street in the city and closed the Yuma County Courthouse and several nearby schools. No one was injured at the courthouse or school, and police reopened the school and courthouse about two hours later. Court documents show the suspect was involved in two civil cases, one in Yuma and another in nearby Wellton. The court clerk said that in 2006, a judge issued a protection order ordering the suspect not to approach his wife, who at that time asked for a divorce from him. "This is a tragedy," Krieger said. He said that in the past five months, several shootings have occurred on the island, leaving six people dead and 13 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in Tucson. "We don't want a tragedy like this to happen, this is not our way of life," he said.
