A manhunt is underway in Pennsylvania for a man accused of killing his ex-wife and five others. They were killed Monday during a shooting spree in a suburban Philadelphia neighborhood.
Police believe Bradley Michael Stone, a 35-year-old veteran, is responsible. Among the dead are the suspects ex-wife Nicole Stone; her sister, brother-in-law, 14-year-old niece, mother, and grandmother.
Nicole Stones' 17-year-old nephew was also shot. Police say when they found him he was clinging to life.
Brad Stone and his ex-wife had been locked in a custody fight over their children since she filed for divorce in 2009. He filed an emergency motion early this month, although the resulting Dec. 9 ruling remains sealed in court files.
According to a neighbor, Evan Weron, Nicole Stone would tell anyone who would listen that "he was going to kill her and that she was really afraid for her life."
The Stones were married in 2004. Records show they filed for divorce in 2009. Neighbors say Nicole Stone got engaged this summer.
Last night, during a press conference Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said, "As I stand here right now, we do not know where he (Brad Stone) is."
Stone is no stranger to crime. He faced several driving-under-the-influence charges, one of which was handled in veterans' court and led to a three- to 23-month sentence.
