US shooting attack claims six lives
A man has surrendered to police in the US state of Washington after a series of shootings left six people dead on Tuesday night.
The killings took place at various places in the north-west of the state.
A sheriff's deputy who went to investigate an incident was among those killed; two construction workers were found shot dead nearby.
The man gave himself up at a sheriff's office in Mount Vernon after a chase along an Interstate motorway, during which a motorist was killed.
The suspect was reportedly known to authorities as "someone with a mental illness", Trooper Keith Leary told the Associated Press news agency.
