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.
So why is this guy not in jail?
You guessed right.
Surrounded with hostages right now.
So why is this guy not on a cold slab in the morgue.
Because it’s racism to put young black men in jail. The numbers don’t lie.

Hey—a future NBA star!
The cops are always so perceptive. Figured this out.
He likely will be before the night's over...I hope the hostages survive...
My suspicion is that since it’s a domestic matter, the victims are black too. You’d think it’d be racism NOT to put this guy in jail.
So, how many strikes before this thug is out? What is this, street whiffleball?
Where did you read this was a hostage situation?
Where did you read this was a hostage situation?
Where did you read this was a hostage situation?
One report said he fled with a white girl. Girlfriend???
“Family members say he [Dantzler] is bipolar and off his medications.”
But that’s straightforward sense. The media-deluded are working on super-ego sense, where decisions are made based apon the expectation of how people judge them.
According to the new, the killer kicked open a back door of an apartment, went inside and fired 3 shots...Police have been in contact with the guy...The news was that there are hostages...
