Man With Shotgun Kills Six At Ski Village

Compiled From Wire Services

A man with a shotgun killed six people and wounded five as he stalked a New Zealand ski village for an hour today, hunting for his victims.

A 24-year-old local man was arrested - naked and unarmed - after authorities tracked him through rugged forest with backup from planes and helicopters.

The man was charged with one count of murder and faced more charges.

The violence began with a family argument and it appeared that the gunman’s relatives bore the brunt of his rage, police said. But passers-by also were caught in the shooting.
