ANNISTON, ALABAMA - A suspect was arrested Friday in the execution-style killing of four young men in a video rental store. <br> <br> Police Chief Wayne Chandler said the suspect, whose named was not immediately available, was arrested outside Calhoun County.

He said that crime was possibly related to the Anniston slayings. <br> <br> The four Anniston victims, including two employees and two brothers browsing for videos, were shot to death during the robbery about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at a Blockbuster video store. Three of the four victims were shot in the back of the head. <br> <br> The victims were identified as 22-year-old employee Austin Joplin of Jacksonville and 27-year-old employee Douglas Neal of Tallapoosa, Georgia, who were found in an office in the rear of the store; and brothers from Jacksonville -- 21-year-old Joseph Michael Burch and 19-year-old Andrew Robert Burch.
