Schools closed and hospitals and other public places tightened security as police in two suburban Philadelphia counties hunted on Tuesday for a Marine veteran suspected of killing his ex-wife and five of her relatives.
Residents remained on alert even as officials lifted a shelter-in-place order for parts of an area, where a knife-wielding, fatigue-clad man resembling Bradley William Stone attempted a carjacking Monday night.
Authorities said Stone, locked in a child custody dispute, went on a 90-minute shooting rampage before daybreak Monday at three homes within a few miles of each other.
Police teams surrounded his home for hours on Monday and demanded through a bullhorn that the Iraq War veteran give himself up. But he was gone.
