COPS are on the hunt for a shooter after three women and a 13-year-old girl were killed during a gun rampage in Tennessee.

The suspect, identified as Mavis Christian Jr, is “armed and extremely dangerous,” police said.

It comes after a shooting spree took place across Memphis on Saturday.

Christian Jr is accused of brutally killing two young girls, two women and critically injuring another female in three separate attacks. 

The wounded victim was transported to Regional One Health hospital for treatment. 

Police investigating the death of a woman at around 9.30pm on Howard Drive connected the killing to two other fatal shootings that “involve the same suspect”, CNN reports.

They then identified Christian Jr as the suspect in all three shootings and said he fled each scene in a white 2017 Chevrolet Malibu.

Authorities added the attacks have been described as domestic violence and that Christian is a relative of the victims.

Police have not identified the victims or provided information on how they’re related to the suspect.

“As a father it breaks my heart, these are somebody’s kids, sisters, aunts.

“These are people, real people and this has devastated an an entire family. 

“We just ask the community, deescalate.

” If you’re in a situation where you know it’s going to get tense or there is about to be some issues or some problems, walk away.”

Memphis police said local, state and federal agencies are now involved in the manhunt for Christian Jr.

“If you see him or his vehicle, please call 911 immediately,” police said.
