6 found shot to death at farmhouses

A seventh victim has been hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the neck.
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) -- Six people were found shot to death Sunday morning in two neighboring farmhouses near this west-central Ohio town, a sheriff's officer said.
Investigators believe one of the victims was responsible for the attack, Logan County Sheriff's Lt. Chuck Stout said.
Sheriff Michael Henry identified the dead as Paige Harshbarger, 14; Scott Moody, 18; Megan Karus, 19; Sheri Schafer, 37; Sharyl Schafer, 66; and Gary Schafer, 67.
A seventh person, 15-year-old Stacy Moody, was shot in the neck, Stout said. Henry said she called a friend on her cell phone and the friend called authorities at 10:46 a.m.
Moody was flown to Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Henry said. The sheriff did not know her condition.
Scott Moody was to have graduated Sunday afternoon from Riverside High School in nearby De Graff, the sheriff said. The school held commencement as scheduled, he added.
Henry did not provide details about the relationship between the victims.
Sharyl and Gary Schafer were found in one farmhouse, while the others were found in a second house about a quarter-mile away, Henry said. Stout said the same family owned both houses on a farm several hundred acres west of town, about 45 miles northwest of Columbus.
Multiple guns
Investigators found several guns at the scene, Henry said, including a rifle inside the house where four bodies were found. The sheriff said officers had received 10 nuisance calls concerning the house, though he did not provide specifics about those complaints. He wouldn't say whether the rifle was the weapon used in the shootings.
Detectives were interviewing friends and family members of the victims, Henry said.
"I've being doing this for 35 years and I've never seen anything like this," Stout said.
People in this rural community of 13,000 drifted in and out of the sheriff's office, hugging and crying, throughout the afternoon. One woman nearly collapsed moments after arriving and speaking with people at the office. Deputies had to help her inside.
"Dealing with a small community like this, everyone knows everyone," the sheriff said.
