SOUDERTON (AP) - Police hunting for a man suspected of killing people at multiple homes surrounded houses in two different towns on Monday.
The man was suspected in as many as five deaths Monday morning at three different homes in Philadelphia s northwest suburbs. Police with armored vehicles and rifles surrounded a home in one after spending several hours at a home in another location.
"We are searching for shooter," District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told The Associated Press in a text message.
She would not give additional details and would not confirm the number of dead. WPVI-TV reported that the man was suspected of killing a woman in at one location, two people in another location and two more in another town.
Neighbors at the first shooting scene say they awoke around 4 a.m. to the sounds of breaking glass and gunshots.
One neighbor, Evon Weron, said the suspect is a former member of the military and that the first victim was his ex-wife. Weron told the Lansdale Reporter the couple had been fighting over custody.
All the shooting sites are within a few miles of each other.
Several school districts ordered students and teachers to shelter in place.
