Factbox: Four Dead in Mass Shootings in Quiet Upstate New York Towns of Herkimer, Mohawk - Yahoo! News

A 64-year-old man is being sought in the slaying of four people and the wounding of two others in a normally somnolent upstate Herkimer County, N.Y. The shootings, believed to have been carried out with a long rifle, took place in the tiny villages of Herkimer and Mohawk, according to the Associated Press. The situation right now is fluid and developing, but police have cordoned off part of the town where the shooting suspect may be cornered. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a press conference scheduled for this afternoon but this has twice been delayed. The facts so far:

* The shootings began at mid-morning when a man armed with a long gun killed two people and injured two at John's Barber Shop in Mohawk then apparently drove to Gaffney's Fast Lube in nearby Herkimer where the second shootings and two deaths occurred.
