Missing Marine That Killed 6

Authorities are searching for 35-year-old Bradley William Stone, who they say shot and killed six family members and wounded another Monday in a rampage that left dead bodies in three different homes in Montgomery County, Pa. Stone is a Marine veteran suspected of killing his ex-wife and five of her relatives amid a bitter child custody dispute near Philadelphia. Some schools were closed Tuesday, hospitals and other public places increased security and residents remained on heightened alert, even as officials lifted a shelter-in-place order for parts of Bucks County, where a knife-wielding, fatigue-clad man resembling suspect Stone attempted a carjacking Monday night. The rampage began around 3:30 a.m., when Stone allegedly shot and killed Patricia Flick, the sister of his ex-wife, Nicole Stone, at her home in Souderton, also killing Flick's husband, Aaron Flick, and her 14-year-old daughter, Nina Flick. Her 17-year-old son, Anthony Flick, was receiving treatment at a hospital in Philadelphia for a head wound. Nicole Stone's mother, Joanne Hill, and grandmother Patricia Hill were killed next at their home in nearby Lansdale. Investigators were alerted by a hang-up call to emergency dispatchers. At around 5 a.m., Stone went to Nicole Stone's apartment, located in the Harleysville section of Lower Salford Township, investigators said. Stone broke in through a glass door, shot and killed Nicole Stone, and fled with their two children, the woman's neighbors said. Authorities said Stone then delivered the two children, who were unharmed, to a neighbor in Pennsburg. Stone's vehicle and cell phone have been recovered but no information about where he is going has been recovered. "As I stand here right now, we do not know where he is," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.
