OKLAHOMA CITY -- A high school student was being held Sunday in eastern Oklahoma after allegedly going on a shooting rampage that killed two people and wounded six others, authorities said.

The violence began about 5 p.m. on Saturday after 18-year-old Daniel Fears of Sallisaw, Okla., was reprimanded for erratic driving by a neighbor.

KTUL-TV reported that Fears, a senior at Sallisaw High School, then went into his home and returned with a shotgun, shooting and killing Patsy Wells. Two people in the neighborhood were also shot.

Then he drove a short distance to a car dealership on U.S. 64, police said, where a woman was shot to death and a salesman wounded.

Fears then continued driving east on U.S. 64 shooting randomly at passing vehicles. He then stopped at a statuary store along the highway and shot two more people who were looking at lawn statues.

He was next seen in Muldrow, about 10 miles east of Sallisaw, where he shot another man and shot at but did not hit a Muldrow police officer, the Daily Oklahoman reported Sunday.

Fears continued east where he ran into a police roadblock. "He crashed near the roadblock and was taken into custody," Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kym Koch told the newspaper.

Koch said the shootings are still under investigation.
