Authorities were still investigating what led to the attack, but Sheriff Brian Gardner said in a news release that among the possible motives was that the crime might be made into a movie. He did not elaborate.
An Iowa man has been arrested after allegedly killing three people with a metal pipe.
Luke Truesdell, 34, of Marion, was charged Thursday with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, Linn County Attorney Nick Maybanks said. It wasn’t immediately clear if Truesdell had an attorney. He did not have a listed phone number.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office found the victims after being called Wednesday to a home about 12 miles north of Cedar Rapids.
