WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES

Eight members of one family, including a teenager, were executed with a bullet to the head in rural Ohio on Friday.

Seven bodies were found at three nearby homes and an eighth was later found at a fourth site, Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader told reporters.

The victims were “all adults except for a male juvenile” who was 16 years old, he said, adding that all were members of a single family.

The authorities gave no possible motive. And, with at least one suspected gunman still on the loose, no arrests have been made.

“Each one of the victims appears to have been executed, each one of the victims appears to have been shot in the head,” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said.

“The preliminary determination has been made that none of the individuals committed suicide,” he added, saying the shooter or shooters “are still at large. We do not know their location.”

Several victims were in bed when they were shot, Reader said.

Two babies — one aged four days, the other six months — and a three-year-old child survived the shootings, he added.

The first and fourth crime scenes are separated by 30 miles (50 kilometres), the sheriff’s office said.

Earlier, DeWine and Reader said in a joint statement that the first seven victims had been found “in three Union Hill Road homes in Pike County,” a rural community about 80 miles east of Cincinnati.

There was no “active shooter,” they said.

Schools in Pike County and surrounding areas were earlier placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure, WLWT reported.

Agents from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation were leading the investigation, the statement said.

Ohio Governor and Republican presidential candidate John Kasich tweeted that the situation was “beyond comprehension.”

Firearms kill some 30,000 people in the United States each year.

I saw a documentary called children who kill or something like that.

Some teens had killed a whole family by shooting three bullets making triangle like bullet wounds a baby survived though he was badly wounded.

The sentences they got were crazy.

this is why i laugh when they issue travel advisories against kenya,
when you are more likely to die from a criminal or police bullet there.

This is anti NRA propaganda!!:cool:

On a serious note, a country that adores firearms, has a tradition of aggression and sends young men into unnecessary conflicts who come back totally messed up is always going to have these kinds of attacks.

The US leads in sex crimes, drug addictions,serial killers, lone-gunmen shootings, prisons and prisoners etc.

That is an area where they can borrow a leaf from us. Let’s issue travel advisories against them. Mmh.

Ni biashara. Remember in a business it does not matter who’s happy as long as the boss makes something good.

Hata prisons huko ni biashara. I was shocked to learn some private US prisons charge convicts for their stay.
