4 men shot to death at TV store
Four men were shot to death at a television store, and authorities said they were looking for a suspect who might be armed with an assault rifle.
Mount Airy Police Chief Dale Watson said at a news conference that the victims were shot in the parking lot of Woods TV store less than a mile from the police station.
Police said a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Marcos Chavez Gonzalez. He is accused of four counts of murder.
Watson said the victims and the suspect were at the television store for a reason.
"We don't feel this was a random event," Watson said.

Pentagon warns KBR about costs
Pentagon auditors are warning the Army's primary support contractor in Iraq -- responsible for mail, laundry, housing, meals and other duties -- to cut its workforce there or face nearly $200 million in penalties for keeping thousands too many on the payroll.
According to an internal Defense Department audit, Houston-based KBR Inc. has increased employee levels while U.S. troops steadily leave the country after more than six years of war. As a result, the U.S. is paying far more in labor costs in Iraq than it should.
The Oct. 26 audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency was obtained by the Associated Press.
