US police have arrested a man suspected of killing five people, including his parents, in two separate but related shootings in the state of Louisiana.
Dakota Theriot, 21, was caught on Sunday, 1,770km (1,100 miles) away at his grandmother’s house in Virginia.
Saturday’s shootings were in Livingston and Ascension parishes, south of Louisiana state capital Baton Rouge.
Authorities said the other victims are a woman thought to be his girlfriend, and her brother and father.
Police believe Mr Theriot stole his father’s grey and silver Dodge Ram pick-up truck, before driving to shoot his parents, Keith and Elizabeth Theriot.
He had a gun with him at the time of his arrest, which authorities say he dropped without confrontation.
He faces charges of first-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and home invasion.
