Authorities asked residents to be on the lookout for Matthew Bernard, 19, who was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.

While Taylor said that the suspect is armed and dangerous, he could not say what type of firearm he had.

It also appears that suspect was related to the victims and lived at the same address.

“We don’t know what happened to set off this chain of events,” Taylor said.

All cars at the residence were accounted for, so police believe that he fled the scene on foot.

At this time the police have a command post set up, K-9 units in pursuit, and officers patrolling the area. Taylor said that they will bring in aerial support if the cloud cover decreases.

Police deployed reverse 911 calls to alert the neighborhood about the situation.

Police report that Career Tech, Kentuck Elementary, Dan River Middle, Dan River High, Chatham Middle, Chatham High, and Southside Elementary Schools have been put on lockdown.
