The victims were found Sunday and Monday at three separate locations. Police said they did not know of a motive for the killings, but said the suspect knew the victims.
A man shot and killed eight people at three locations since Sunday in the Chicago suburbs and remains loose, authorities said Monday.
Police in Will County and the city of Joliet said they did not know of a motive for the killings, but said the man knew the victims. The FBI’s fugitive task force was assisting local police in the search for the suspect, Joliet Police Chief William Evans said.
The victims were found Sunday and Monday at three separate locations, authorities told reporters Monday evening, several hours after warning on social media that the man should be considered “armed and dangerous.”
One of the people killed was found Sunday in a home in Will County. Seven others were found Monday at two homes in Joliet.
Authorities said they also believe another shooting in Joliet that wounded a man on Sunday is connected to the string of violence but would not discuss their evidence.
