NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The man suspected of killing his parents and five other people in two rural Tennessee homes stole the car of one of the victims and was wearing a blood-stained T-shirt when he was seen, telling acquaintances the stain was just chocolate, according to authorities and court documents.

Law enforcement agents arrested 25-year-old Michael Cummins on Saturday about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from one of the two crime scenes at separate homes in rural Sumner County. He was shot and wounded while being taken into custody after authorities spotted him in a creek bed.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch called the two crime scenes “horrific” and “gruesome.” He didn’t elaborate on the manner in which the victims died, but said the attacks are believed to have taken place over more than one day.
