(CBS/AP) TERRELL, Texas - Police say a man accused of killing five people - including one who may have burned to death - is in custody.
Charles Brownlow, 36, is accused of going on a killing spree Monday night, reports CBS Dallas. Police say the bloodshed began Monday night at around 5 p.m., in a house in Terrell where a woman was found fatally shot.
The station reports that less than a half hour later, a Terrell firefighter observed a house on fire a few blocks away from the initial shooting. After the fire was extinguished, a female body was discovered inside the home. Police say the fire was clearly arson and established a connection between the two crimes.
