Six people were killed and 18 others wounded in a shooting rampage in suburban Melbourne, Australia, according to police. A 19-year-old man in military-style clothing and carrying a shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle was arrested, police said. The shooting spree began when a woman was killed as she sat in her car at a service station. Over the next 30 minutes, victims were picked off, apparently at random. No motive was known, but police said the suspect had been drinking.
