Philadelphia:
3 shot dead in Quincy; girl taken, found safe in Ohio
QUINCY, Pa. (AP) – A man in south-central Pennsylvania confronting
his wife about custody arrangements for their daughter shot to
death three people, then fled with the 4-year-old girl before the
two were found about 250 miles away in Ohio, authorities said
Saturday.
Kevin Matthew Cleeves was trying to contact his wife Friday to
make arrangements to pick up his daughter Leia, but she didn't
answer the phone, so he went to a home in Quincy Township, the
(Waynesboro) Record-Herald (http://bit.ly/O5EeFX) reported, citing
court records.
Police said Cleeves, 35, found a woman and man sitting in a car
and began arguing with them, then was ordered to leave. He then
shot to death both of them and another woman and took the girl,
authorities alleged.
An Amber Alert was issued Friday night but was canceled hours
later after the pair were found in Austintown in northeastern
Ohio, outside Youngstown.
Cleeves was arrested in the three deaths Friday night in Quincy
Township, Pennsylvania state police Trooper Adam Reed. Police had
said earlier that Cleeves should be considered "armed and
dangerous as well as suicidal." Cleeves was charged with three
counts of criminal homicide Saturday, according to court records.
Reed would not give other information about the deaths, including
the names of the victims and their relationship to Cleeves, but
said more details would be released later Saturday. Court records
did not list an attorney for Cleeves.
