Authorities in Oklahoma have launched a desperate manhunt after four people were found brutally murdered in a rural property. The suspect, identified as Jesse McFadden, is believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.
The victims, whose identities have not yet been officially released, were discovered in a home near Henryetta, sparking panic in the local community. Police have warned residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately.
Suspect Considered High Risk
McFadden, who has a violent criminal history, was reportedly scheduled to appear in court on the same day the bodies were found. Investigators have not yet confirmed a motive but are treating the case as a targeted attack.
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) has urged the public not to approach McFadden if spotted, but instead to call emergency services immediately.
Community in Shock
Local residents have expressed horror at the killings, with many describing the area as typically peaceful. One neighbour told reporters: "This is the last thing you’d expect here. Everyone’s locking their doors tonight."
Schools in the vicinity were temporarily placed on lockdown as a precaution, though no further threats have been reported.
What Happens Next?
Law enforcement agencies, including the US Marshals Service, are assisting in the search. Roadblocks and helicopter surveillance have been deployed across the region.
Anyone with information is urged to contact OSBI at their tip line or local law enforcement.
