A suspect in five killings at three separate locations in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has barricaded himself inside a home, according to a local television station.

Television station WPVI reported that police believe a single gunman, believed to be a military veteran, is responsible for the early Monday morning killings.

According to the station, police have located the suspect’s vehicle and believe he is still at large.

  1. So which is it? Is he inside his home or is he at large with authorities having only located his vehicle? Weird.

    Doesn’t he know that if he puts up an ISIL flag he’s sure to get wall to wall coverage, because then he’s considered a terrorist as opposed to just a despicable crazed criminal that needs to be taken down?

  2. Linked news story simply says he’s barricaded inside a house. No idea where that “at large” stuff comes from, unless it was left over from an earlier version and nobody saw that it didn’t make sense. You could have read over this item and spotted that in about, oh, seven seconds. But still it happens here and at lots of other publishing venues I know of.
