A mass shooting on Friday has left six people dead, including the suspected gunman, in Missaukee county, a rural area of northern Michigan, according to state police. Another person is in critical condition at a local hospital.
Michigan state police identified the suspected gunman as 39-year-old Chad Hickman in a statement posted on social media.
Hickman fled the scene, prompting a manhunt, the police said. The Missaukee county sheriff’s office had appealed to the public for help in locating the “armed and dangerous” Hickman, before he was located by state police.
Investigators tracked Hickman’s vehicle to a wooded area, where he and another individual were found deceased. It is unclear what circumstances led up to the shooting.
