ORIGINAL STORY
A suspect identified as Bradley Stone is at large. Six people are dead and one is wounded in what is reported to be a custody dispute. All victims are members of the slain mother’s family including her mother and grandmother. The children are unharmed. Stone left the kids at his neighbor’s house and has not been seen. “Residents in Pennsburg, PA are being told to lock themselves inside their houses. If you see Stone, police warn — do not approach him. Call 911.”
He graduated Souderton Highschool in 1998. His Facebook page says he likes the movie “Hell And Back Again”, the TV show “The Walking Dead” and the music of Chicago Blues, Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, AC/DC, Tartanic and Steel Panther.
The members of the murdered family were cousins with The Promoter TV director of photography’s Scott Alexander Johnson. Scott studied journalism at West Chester University. Scott said, “For all the faithful out there, a horrific tragedy has struck my family today. I won’t name names as the media has not yet done so. But prayers are needed and appreciated at this time.”
NBC News reports, “One of the victims is Nicole Hill, Stone’s ex-wife. She was shot inside her apartment in the Harleysville section of Lower Salford Township, just feet from her kids, sometime between 4 and 5 a.m., police sources and neighbors told NBC10.
“I heard the kids say, ‘Mommy no. I want my mom.’ And I heard [the suspect] say ‘Let’s go. We have to go now. We’re leaving,’” the woman’s neighbor at the Pheasant Run Apartments along 150 Main Street in Lower Salford Township said after being jolted awake by gunshots between 4 and 5 a.m.”
