(AP) – Five people were killed and a suspect is dead Friday in Michigan, where an extensive search unfolded around two homes and a wooded area, according to police.
Law enforcement was responding to reports of a shooting at a home in Missaukee County, about 169 miles northwest of Detroit, just before noon when they found three people dead and another in critical condition, Michigan State Police said in a statement. The person wounded was taken to the hospital.
The suspect, Chad Hickman, 39, fled before law enforcement got to the home, according to police.
As law enforcement conducted a large-scale search for him, they found a fourth person dead at another home, according to officials.
Police warned the public in a post on X that Hickman was armed and dangerous and told community members not to approach him.
