An Iraq war veteran suspected in a shooting rampage that left six of his estranged family members dead remained at large late Monday as the manhunt continued north of Philadelphia.

The victims included his ex-wife, her mother, her grandmother, her sister, her brother-in-law and a niece. A nephew was wounded.

Former Marine Sgt. Bradley William Stone, 35, also may have abducted his two daughters from his ex-wifes home, a witness said, but dropped them off with a neighbor before he vanished. By late Monday night, the manhunt had spilled from Montgomery County into Bucks County, leading residents in Doylestown to shelter indoors.

Stone, of Pennsburg, was being sought on suspicion of shootings in the towns of Lansdale, Lower Salford Township and Souderton. The communities are 35 to 50 miles north of Philadelphia.

Montgomery County law enforcement officials described a series of attacks that began at 3:30 a.m. and continued until 5 a.m., until Stone dropped off his daughters and disappeared, abandoning his vehicle and his cellphone.

A possible sighting of Stone took place Monday night: The township of Doylestown said an attempted armed robbery took place about 7 p.m. local time involving a man whose description was similar to that of Stone. A white man dressed in camouflage clothing and carrying a knife demanded car keys from a person walking a dog, the township said on Facebook. The victim had a gun and fired at the man, who ran away, the township said.

On Monday morning, Stones ex-wife, Nicole Stone, 33, was found dead in her home in Lower Salford Township.

Nicole and Bradley Stone had divorced in 2009.

"They've been fighting for years, real bad," a neighbor, Michele Brewster,told the Allentown Morning Call. "He's been tormenting her. She's gone to the police, and she has told everybody, 'He's going to kill me.'''

The Stones had been involved in a protracted custody battle over their two daughters, according to a friend of Bradley Stone.

Iraq war veteran suspected in 6 fatal Pennsylvania shootings still at large

An Iraq war veteran suspected of killing six family members, including his 14-year-old niece, in a shooting spree in communities near Philadelphia was being sought on Monday by Pennsylvania police.

The manhunt for Bradley William Stone, 35, focused in and around Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, where residents were advised to remain indoors with their doors locked, the Montgomery County district attorney said.

Stone, who lives in Pennsburg, was a suspect in the shooting deaths on Monday of his ex-wife, his former mother-in-law, former grandmother-in-law, former sister-in-law and two other family members, District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told a news conference.

"As we stand here right now, we don't know where he is," Ferman said, adding that Stone took his two young daughters from the home of his ex-wife but left them with a neighbor and they were safe. Pennsburg is about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Ferman said Stone sometimes uses a cane or walker, but it was not clear if he actually needed such a device to get around.

As night fell on Monday, the search for Stone turned to neighboring Bucks County, where a man walking his dog was confronted by a suspect carrying a knife who tried to take his car keys.

The dog walker was armed, and fired several shots at the suspect. Police in Doylestown Township, about 24 miles from Pennsburg, say the knife-wielding man fit Stone's description.

Media reported that Stone suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. NBC said he had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves in 2002 and was honorably discharged in 2011.

Stone was deployed at least once to Iraq, NBC said, adding that his military records did not show that he had been wounded in combat.

Stone was believed to have gone on a shooting spree in three towns, first killing his ex-wife's sister, husband and 14-year-old daughter in Souderton at about 3:30 a.m. ET, the district attorney said. A 17-year-old son survived but was wounded and hospitalized, she said.
