• 4:51 p.m. Seven people are dead in two locations, according to Police Chief Kevin Belk.

• 5:06 p.m. Police scanner traffic indicates the suspect, Rodrick Dantzler, 34, 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, may be traveling with a white woman in a tan Lincoln Towne car with license plate number BWK 2308. The woman may be driving. Dantzler is believed to be armed and dangerous.

• 5:30 p.m. Police believe a separate shooting on Grandville Avenue SW near Martha Street, involving gunfire between occupants in two cars, one of which met the description of the suspect's vehicle, is also related to this rampage.

• 5:43 p.m. Today's killing rampage appears to stem from domestic issues. A friend said that a woman who was involved with Dantzler lived at the Plainfield address where two women and one child, reportedly a 10-year-old girl, were found shot to death. A friend also said that the family of a woman with whom Dantzler had a relationship lived on Brynell Court NE, where three adult women and an adult man were found dead.
