NEW YORK — A man suspected of shooting and killing five people in northern Michigan on Friday was found dead after a search, Michigan State Police said in a statement on social media.
One victim remained hospitalized in critical condition, the police said.
Troopers were dispatched about 11:40 a.m. to a home in Missaukee County, Michigan, after a report of a shooting. Officers found three people dead and a fourth person wounded, the state police said.
The suspect, identified by police as Chad Hickman, 39, fled the scene before troopers arrived, prompting a search. During the search for the suspect, investigators discovered another dead victim at a second residence.
Troopers later located Hickman's vehicle near a wooded area close to Whitlock Lake, where they found Hickman and another person dead, police said.
