MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - New details are surfacing about the life of Tuesday's south Alabama gunman. Michael McLendon, 28, of Kinston had quit his job at a sausage factory just days ago. Prior to that he'd worked for nearly two years at another food plant around 25 miles away in the city of Elba, and before that, he worked for the Samson Police Department in 2003, though he failed complete the academy.

The man's shooting spree covered two counties (Coffee and Geneva) and targeted people in the town of Kinston and the cities of Samson and Geneva in extreme southeast Alabama.

No one knows for sure what sent McClendon into the deadly rampage, killing 11 including himself and wounding others. Those who might have known the reasons, his own relatives, were the apparent targets of his rage. Victims ranged in age from 18 months to 74-years-old.

The Coffee County coroner said McLendon started his day off with bloodshed at the Kinston area home owned by his mother; a home he ended up burning to the ground.

Others relatives including McClendon's grandparents, an aunt, uncle and cousin as well as random citizens were shot to death. Several law enforcement officers were wounded as McClendon drove though town firing shots at anyone in his path. Click here to read the last information on victim identities.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency and many other agencies continue to work multiple crime scenes.
