A series of shootings in Michigan left five people plus a suspect dead Friday, police said, following an extensive search around two homes and a wooded area.
Officers responded just before noon to reports of a shooting at a home in Missaukee County, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northwest of Detroit, and found three people dead and another in critical condition, Michigan State Police said in a statement. The wounded person was taken to a hospital.
Suspect Chad Hickman, 39, fled before they arrived at the home, according to police. As officers conducted a large-scale search for him, they found a fourth person dead at another home.
In a post on the social platform X, police warned that Hickman was armed and dangerous and told community members not to approach him.
Hickman’s vehicle was later found in a wooded area near Whitlock Lake, and that led authorities to his body as well as that of another dead person.
“This situation is heartbreaking for the community and challenging for the investigators involved,” Lt. Ashley Miller said in a statement.
She added that investigators would work through the night to process each scene.
Police asked people to avoid the areas where the shootings took place.
The names and ages of the people killed were not immediately released, pending family notification.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she was briefed on the shooting and monitoring the situation.
“My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Missaukee community,” she said.
