A soldier suspected of killing four people in suburban Philadelphia has been found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities were on the hunt for John Egland, 37, after they suspected him of killing his ex-wife, her boyfriend, the boyfriend’s son, and his former mother-in-law as Hurricane Irene swept the coast. Local residents were asked to lock themselves indoors as two commando teams searched the area, eventually finding his body with the rifle and pistol he had used to fire at police 10 hours earlier. Egland had recently returned from his third deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan.
