Reports: Two children dead in Montco shootings

Police officers converged late Saturday night on an upper Montgomery County address where multiple shootings were reported.

Officers from at least seven police departments were converging late Saturday night on an upper Montgomery County address where multiple shootings were reported.

According to some police-radio dispatches, a 5-year-old child and a 2-year-old suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the head, and an additional victim had been found in nearby woods with three stomach wounds. The shootings were reported just before 11 p.m. on Renninger Road in the Gilbertsville area of Douglass Township.

The reports, which a county 911 supervisor said he could not confirm, said that there were additional victims, and that a SWAT team had not yet located the shooter.
