Horrifying Tragedy In Ohio: At Least 8 Dead In Execution-Style Killings
In Pike County, Ohio, about 80 miles east of Cincinnati, 8 people likely from the same family were found dead in “execution-style killings” according to law enforcement and Ohio Attorney General, Mike DeWine. It has also been reported that 2 of the victims were teenagers and multiple smaller children were at the scene but not harmed.
Peebles High School was put on lockdown and DeWine also stated that the assailant may still be on the loose.
A spokesperson for Ohio's Bureau of Criminal Investigation said earlier that "we are sending everybody" to the shooting scene near the Adams/Pike county line. Spokesman Dan Tierney said the Pike County sheriff's office requested state help at 8:20 a.m.
