GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. The 53-year-old female hostage was released unharmed Thursday night. Grand
Rapids Police Chief Kevin Belk says second hostage also is uninjured.
Belk says police are communicating with the suspect, 34-year-old Rodrick Shonte
Dantzler.
A manhunt for Dantzler began after four people were found dead in one Grand
Rapids home and three were found in another across town. Belk now says the dead
included two children.
The frantic search included a high-speed chase through downtown Grand Rapids
during which Belk says the suspect shot two other people. They did not suffer
life-threatening injuries.
