Man on Shooting Rampage in Memphis
If you're in Memphis stay in and arm up.
There's a man going around shooting. He's responsible for a lot of shootings tonight and I don't think they've managed to catch him. This is a different sort of active shooter. He's picking people off and escaping.
Arkansas is also on high alert.

Police say Kelly posted live footage of himself pointing guns and shooting people on Facebook and Instagram throughout the evening.
Kelly is accused of shooting seven people. Four of those victims are dead and three other are injured.
The first shooting happened in the early morning hours of Wednesday. A 24-year-old man was shot and killed on Lynndale Avenue.
The next shooting happened at 4:35 p.m. A man was found dead on E Parkway South after being shot multiple times.
One minute later, a shooting occurred at Norris Road and I-240 near the southbound ramp. A woman was shot in the leg and is in non-critical condition at the hospital.
The next shooting happened on Jackson Avenue at a business. Police say Kelly ran into the store and shot a man. That victim is in critical condition.
That’s when investigators launched a citywide search for Kelly.
Police across the city pursued Kelly for hours. Police in West Memphis and Southaven also assisted in the pursuit.
Three more shootings occurred before Kelly was captured:
A woman was shot and carjacked at Poplar Avenue and Evergreen Street. She did not survive.
A man was shot at Poplar Avenue and McLean. He was taken to the hospital in non-critical condition.
A woman was shot and killed on West Raines Road.
Southaven police say he then crossed the state line and stole a Dodge Challenger from a customer at Raceway on Stateline Road.
Southaven police say Kelly faces an armed carjacking charge.
Multiple areas of the city were placed on lockdown Wednesday night in response to the active shooter alert. MATA services were shut down and AutoZone Park was evacuated during a Redbirds game. That game has since been postponed, and MATA is back in service.
Kelly crashed the Challenger in Whitehaven and was arrested in the area of Ivan Road and Hodge Road around 9:30 p.m.
