Officers eventually cornered Adams who ignored commands to drop his gun, allegedly pointing it toward himself and taking his own life instead.
the Associated Press (AP) noted that the deceased included a woman in her 50s, a woman in her 40s, and two women in their 20s.
A 13-year-old girl was shot but survived and is in critical condition.
