Soldier found dead in Philadelphia suburb after 4 are killed

"An Army officer suspected of killing four people in Pennsylvania and Virginia was found dead in a wooded Philadelphia suburb on Sunday. Hours after he fired at several officers, wounding two of them, the body of Capt. Leonard John Egland, 37, of Fort Lee, Va., was found around 3:30 p.m. in the Bucks County community of Warwick Township, police Chief Mark Goldberg said. The chief said Egland had a gunshot wound but he would leave it to the coroner to determine whether it was self-inflicted. Authorities said Egland killed his mother-in-law, his wife, her boyfriend and the boyfriend's young son before taking his own young daughter on a frantic drive through Pennsylvania. The girl, believed to be 6 years old, was abandoned physically unharmed at a hospital Saturday night by Egland."
