Police are searching for 34-year-old Rodrick Dantzler after the deaths were discovered Thursday afternoon.
Heartwell couldn't confirm any motive behind the shootings or Dantzler's relationship to any of the victims.
Police tell The Grand Rapids The paper that two women and a child were found dead at one house, and three women and a man were found at the other home.

Authorities report mass murder suspect Rodrick Dantzler enters apartment, shots fired, takes hostages http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2011/07/authorities_report_mass_murder.html
 
They are still trying to take him into custody.
 
male and female hostages. suspect highly agitated.
 
A male and female hostage are currently being held at 3232 Rickman. the suspect is highly agitated. According to scanner.
 
I believe the suspect is fleeing...Let's hope I heard that correctly.
 
Sounds like the Strategic Response Team will be switching frequencies soon. I don't know if that means they are planning to go in?
 
I guess he wasn't fleeing. He has demanded gatorade??...or else he will kill a hostage.
 
This person has already killed 7 people including a child???? He has hostages....OMG I hope they stop him before he more people.
 
gatorade has been delivered.
He will not answer the phone right now.

Clearly this guy is completely out of his mind at the moment! I saw a reference to him normally being a nice guy 'when he is on his meds'.
 
This is insane. There's nothing on the news right now because of the KC coverage.
 
"Was the door left open when the subject came out and retrieved those items?"
 
Hostage speaking to "F1" right now on the phone. (I don't know what f1 means)
 
or...it may be the suspect on the phone. not sure.
 
Suspect is going to release one of the hostages to hold up his end of the bargain!
