Police in Indiana are on the hunt for an “armed and dangerous” murder suspect after officers found four people dead, including three children, in a Fort Wayne residence on Wednesday.
Fort Wayne Police Department officers responded to an “unknown problem” at the residence at around 10:45 a.m., where they found the children and an adult woman dead inside, police said.
Law enforcement identified the suspect as 21-year-old Cohen Bennet Hancz-Barron, a 6-foot, mixed-race male who is 205 pounds, according to a police news release.
