Police in Grand Rapids say that seven people were shot and killed at two locations on Thursday and they are actively searching for suspect Rodrick Shonte Dantzler.

Police say three people, reportedly two women and a 10-year-old girl, are dead at one scene, and four others were killed at a separate scene about two miles away, reports CBS affiliate WWMT.

According to a local station, another man was shot in what police believe is a related incident, but was not killed.

The shootings stemmed from a domestic issue, reports The Grand Rapids Press.

Police say they are searching for the 34-year-old Dantzler. Dantzler is described as a black male, about 6-feet-2-inches tall, weighing 265 pounds with a large, muscular build, dreadlocks, and tattoos all over his body.

Dantzler is believed to be driving a cream Lincoln Towncar, Michigan plate BWK-2308.

Dantzler has a criminal record. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to assault and battery and served about a year. In 2000 he entered a guilty plea to assault with bodily harm less than murder and was sentenced to three to ten years.

In 1997 he was given a year of probation for malicious destruction of property, and in 1992 he was charged as a juvenile for breaking and entering.

Police say Dantzler is to be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone who sees Dantzler is asked to call 911 or their local police department.

No communications with S1 or hostages- very quiet.

I see. That explains what Rompom (sic) [Rompun] is. I wonder what Ace is?

Yes. I wonder if “1202” needs a bio-break.

I couldn’t make out what he wanted out front. Could be.

S1 is armed with a handgun. An earlier report made it a .40 cal.

The head guy said they should set up to make it so, but didn’t give the green light.

S1 is all over the place. Erratic.

How long can he keep this up if he’s zoned out on various drugs? Eventually he’s going to crash, I would think.

They are all animal tranqs. Very effective, and instant acting in the right dosage. Normally non fatal except with underlying med issues. Hangover, heck yes.

Could be :)

The tension level in the neighborhood must be intense.

They want to cut the landline? Why do they want him only using cells?

The first three characters of that morse code burst were “EB2”.

Not much worse than a skittish, insane SOB murderer with nothing to lose who has a weapon. :-(

727 must be the chief? Pretty low badge number.

They don’t want him to be able to talk to anyone but the hostage negotiator.

Sounds like the right stuff. Hangover would be a bonus.
