The man, identified only as Mohammad, shot and killed his wife, daughter and four witnesses - including two little boys - in Shahriar town Sunday evening, a local judiciary official told ISNA news agency.
The official said that the man displayed no evidence of being psychologically disturbed after his arrest and reportedly stated in his confession that he intended to kill four other people as well.
