Police told WPVI-TV the man is suspected of killing a five people Monday morning at three different homes northwest of Philadelphia.
The television station reports the man is holed up in a Souderton home where police say two people were killed. Police say the man is also suspected of killing a woman in Harleysville and two people in Lansdale. The first shooting was reported at 4:25 a.m. Monday.
What I’ve heard is that they believe this to be a domestic issue, and all the victims and the killer are connected. The gunman reportedly has some kind of military training (whether that means he’s a an ex-Delta guy or an Army cook remains unknown). A loud boom was just heard inside the home a few minutes ago. I’m guessing he offed himself.
thanks for the update. Earlier reports had SWAT surrounding two house in different locations.
Update: Apparently, he didn’t off himself. The boom in the house was a flashbang from the SWAT team making entry and he either wasn’t there or slipped away. He’s at large right now. The name is Bradley Stone. So far, there are 6 reported victims, the first one is believed to be his wife, who he shot in front of their kids. I have family and friends in those towns (and they’re not big towns). Pray that the cops put a collar on this guy.
This morning heading to the range, FOX was interviewing a FBI profiler and the profiler stated: he had no plans beyond informing the wife he wiped out her family and would end up committing suicide. Either he would do it or suicide by LEO.
Great to hear that guy is off this earth.
And everyone was home in time for Christmas, well almost everyone . . .
Shooter wasn’t a “copper”…nothing to see here.
No but he was a W H I T E Veteran who owned firearms . . .
There fixed it for you.
How about we just discuss the facts, and stop jamming thumbs in people’s eyes?
The media here has already been asking stupid questions:
“If he was a veteran, is it possible this was caused by PTSD?”
“If he possibly had PTSD, how was he legally able to get a firearm?”
Typical media. What about the knife he used to gut himself, maybe they will ban them.
What firearm did he use?
