I am just unsure about the shooter. From watching other cases I would guess they found the shooter at the scene fom the responses I am seeing. There are no warnings going out here, school lockdowns have been lifted. The only thing they ar saying though is there is not an active shooter investigation.

I'm thinking the eight victim possibly will be the shooter.

At least 8 dead in Ohio shootings at 4 scenes

Deadly shootings reported in Pike County

IKETON, Ohio - At least eight people were found dead Friday in four locations in rural Ohio, authorities said.

Seven of them, including two children, were slain in "execution-style killings" at three homes along a rural road, but no arrests were made and it's unclear whether the killer or killers were among the dead, authorities said Friday.

Details on the death of the eighth person weren't immediately available, but the body was found in a fourth location, said Jill Del Greco, spokeswoman with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Attorney General Mike DeWine planned to provide an update in Pike County later Friday afternoon, she said...

I continue to get email updates on the story from local (Detroit) TV station WDIV.

There was talk of two "survivors" so maybe that's them. I assumed "survivors" meant people who were injured. But maybe they weren't. That would be amazing.

I think the Sheriff will be giving an update at 4pm. Not sure if that means press conference or what.

Not sure if this has already been posted: A five-day old baby and a six-month old have been found alive at one of the locations.

From link:

A Pike County victim's advocate said a five-day-old child and six-month-old child were found alive in one of the homes. Leonard Manley, who told the Cincinnati Enquirer he is the father and grandfather of some of the victims, said that two young children had been taken to Adams County Regional Medical Center, but the hospital would not confirm that.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent death of another Rhoden family member, who is to be buried tomorrow (I believe).

Call came in before 8 am. 3 children are alive, 4 day old, 6 month old & a 3 year old. One male teenager found, all others are adults. If there is a shooter(s) still out there, they are armed and dangerous.

7 adults, 1 juvenile
all shot in the head execution style
residents should be aware of possible armed and dangerous people
They believe that they are still at large
don't panic but be careful
family members of victims should be very careful and take precaution
this is a question of public safety and members of the family

That is what I am trying to get a grasp on. They are giving pretty strong warnings that someone could be out there armed and they even said the Rhoden family needs to be particularly careful (my interpretation not their exact words.)
