 At the second location, four other people were shot at a home, with two of them dying, DeSoto police Cpl. Melissa Franks said.
Franks said police took the suspect into custody without incident at the house where the second shooting happened.
Authorities said the suspect is a man but have not released any other information about him. Franks said police were also trying to determine what connection the suspect had to the victims. He was brought to a jail in DeSoto.
