A reclusive Missouri man shot dead four relatives and three neighbors in a nighttime rampage after one of the other families in the town denied his request for a job, a resident said. Joseph Aldridge, 36, allegedly opened fire in four separate locations on Thursday night in Tyrone, Texas County. The shooter may have unsuccessfully asked Darrell Shriver, 68, for a job before killing him, his son Carey Shriver, 46, and Carey's wife, Valirea, 44, according to the elder victim's cousin John, 72. Nine people are dead in the tiny rural community - including Aldridge, who turned the gun on himself after the shooting spree that followed the death of his 74-year-old mother Alice, who had been ill.Nine people are dead in Texas County, Missouri, at four separate sitesGunman Joseph Aldridge, 36, is cousin to two of the victimsHe killed seven - four relatives and three neighbors, before taking own lifeVictim Darrell Shriver, 68, may have refused Joseph Aldridge a jobFamily of shooter and victims were in a feud for years, resident says
