Just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, six people are dead following what police officers believe to be a domestic dispute. The gunman apparently traveled through three communities in the greater Philadelphia area, killing his ex-wife and members of her family, including her mother, grandmother, sister, brother in law, and niece. All of the victims were shot at close range. A seventh person, Anthony Flick, was shot and survived, he is hospitalized in serious condition.
The shootings began around 4 am ET on Monday. A neighbor at the location of the first shooting told ABC News, "I heard three or four gunshots. I heard the kids saying "Mommy no! Mommy no!" The gunman's two children were left alive by the shooter near one of the shooting locations. They have been safely removed from the area.
The suspect, Bradley Stone, was found dead in Pennsburg, Pa on Tuesday afternoon. Stone is a Marine veteran, he served for eight years, including a 2008 tour in Iraq. NBC reports "police were familiar with him...there had been an ongoing domestic dispute ongoing about the children."
