Ex-Con Charged in Four Shootings

Police have arrested a convicted kidnapper for the fatal shooting of four men in the town that inspired the community of ‘Mayberry’ in “The Andy Griffith Show.” Marcos Chavez Gonzalez was charged with four counts of murder in the killing on late Sunday in the town of Mount Airy. The four men were shot near a water tower with a picture of Griffith and his son on the show.

“This is Mayberry … Andy Griffith’s house is in spitting distance here,” said Michael Wood, one of the owners of Woods TV. Police have said they do not believe the shootings were random, but have not yet released a motive.
