An Iranian man killed six people including his first wife and a daughter in a shooting rampage in Tehran province after a family dispute, the ISNA news agency reported on Monday.
"The first wife of the shooter, his daughter and four other young people between the ages of 10 and 24 were killed," the agency quoted provincial police commander Alireza Akbar Shahi as saying.
Akbar Shahi said the gunman -- a polygamist identified only as Mohammad A. -- also wounded 11 people including his second wife and a son.
"On Sunday evening we received calls about a shooting in the Qods residential area of the town of Shahriar," Akbar Shahi said, adding that the 65-year-old had planned to kill his wives because of family problems.
The victims all lived in the same building as the gunman, the police commander said, adding that the man said he "lost control" and began shooting people. Police said they have also seized several weapons.
Polygamy is allowed in the Islamic republic where the legal system is based on Islamic sharia law.
