   Domestic violence always spikes during Christmas.   
      
   "... likely wearing military fatigues and was known to use a   
   cane or walker to assist him."   
      
   Police near Philadelphia were hunting a former Marine reservist   
   who authorities say shot and killed six family members and   
   wounded another in a Monday rampage that left dead bodies in   
   three different homes.   
      
   A SWAT team storming of a house in Pennsburg, where Bradley   
   William Stone, 35, was believed to be holed up, turned up   
   nothing, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported, and authorities   
   said Monday evening that they did not know his whereabouts.   
      
   "As I stand here right now, we do not know where he is,"   
   Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said   
   shortly after 6 p.m.   
      
   Ferman said Stone was likely wearing military fatigues and was   
   known to use a cane or walker to assist him. Pennsburg is   
   located 48 miles northwest of Philadelphia.   
      
   Speaking at an evening news conference, Ferman said the rampage   
   began around 3:30 a.m., when Stone allegedly shot and killed   
   Patricia Flick, the sister of his ex-wife, Nicole Stone, at her   
   home in Souderton, also killing Flick's husband, Aaron Flick,   
   and her 14-year-old daughter, Nina Flick. Her 17-year-old son,   
   Anthony Flick, was receiving treatment at a hospital in   
   Philadelphia for a head wound.   
      
   "As I stand here right now, we do not know where he is."   
      
   - Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman   
   Nicole Stone's mother, Joanne Hill, and grandmother Patricia   
   Hill were killed next at their home in nearby Lansdale.   
   Investigators were alerted by a hang-up call to emergency   
   dispatchers, Ferman said.   
      
   Then, around 5 a.m., Stone went to Nicole Stone's apartment,   
   located in the Harleysville section of Lower Salford Township,   
   around 5 a.m., investigators said. Brad Stone broke in through a   
   glass door, shot and killed Nicole Stone, and fled with their   
   two children, the woman's neighbors said. Authorities said Stone   
   then delivered the two children, who were unharmed, to a   
   neighbor in Pennsburg.   
      
   All three towns are within a few minutes of each other.   
      
   Ferman said authorities have recovered Stone's vehicle and his   
   cellphone, adding that authorities did not have information   
   about where he was traveling.   
      
   Police with armored vehicles and rifles flocked to Pennsburg   
   after spending several hours at the Souderton home. Several   
   school districts ordered students and teachers to shelter in   
   place, and outside the Pennsburg home, police used a megaphone   
   to try and compel Stone to come out.   
      
   "Bradley, this is the police department!" an officer yelled.   
   "Come to the front door with your hands up. You're under   
   arrest." There was no immediate response.   
      
   Friends of the family were shocked to hear of the rampage.   
      
   "(Nicole Stone) would tell anybody who would listen that he was   
   going to kill her, and that she was really afraid for her life,"   
   said Evan Weron, a neighbor of Stone's ex-wife, Nicole Stone.   
      
   "Everything started being blocked off, the SWAT was then later   
   called in, then we had the tanks pull up," said Don Smith,   
   describing the scene near his Souderton home.   
      
   Brad and Nicole Stone, 33, married in 2004 and filed for divorce   
   in March 2009, according to court records.   
      
   The former couple recently sparred over custody of their two   
   children, with Brad Stone filing an emergency petition Dec. 5   
   and Nicole Stone responding with a counterclaim Dec. 9,   
   according to court records. The outcome of their dispute was not   
   clear.   
      
   Nicole Stone's neighbors at the Pheasant Run Apartments in   
   Harleysville said they were awoken Monday morning by the sounds   
   of breaking glass and gunshots.   
      
   Weron said Nicole Stone would talk frequently about the custody   
   dispute.   
      
   "(Nicole) came into the house a few times, a few separate   
   occasions, crying about how it was very upsetting to her," Weron   
   said.   
      
   Stone, whom U.S. Marine Corps records show served in Iraq and   
   held the rank of sergeant at the time of his discharge in 2008,   
   is described as 5-foot-10, weighing 195 pounds, according to the   
   Montgomery County District Attorney's Office. He has an auburn   
   beard and mustache with closely cropped hair.   
      
   Anyone with information about Stone's whereabouts is asked to   
   call 911 immediately.
