Search Intensifies for Gunman Who Killed Six, Including Ex-Wife

PENNSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Six family members have been fatally shot in suburban Philadelphia, and police are searching for one victim's former husband, who's suspected of committing the rampage.

Thirty-three-year-old Nicole Stone was found dead after a neighbor saw her ex-husband fleeing just before 5 a.m. Monday with their two daughters. At two other nearby homes, Stone's sister, brother-in-law and 14-year-old niece had been killed along with her mother and grandmother. A 17-year-old nephew is clinging to life.

Stone's ex-husband, 35-year-old Bradley Michael Stone remained at large early Tuesday as a police manhunt intensified.

The two were locked in a child custody dispute. Neighbors say Nicole Stone said she feared he would kill her.

Brad Stone, a Marine veteran, had remarried and has an infant son. Neighbors say Nicole Stone became engaged over the summer.
