 Residents of Warwick Township were asked to stay in their homes and lock doors and cars as police hunted for Leonard John Egland, 37, of Fort Lee, Va., who evaded authorities as Hurricane Irene lashed the area. 
 
 "I have no idea whether he's acting on impulse or whether this storm played a part in his thinking," said David Heckler, district attorney in Bucks County, Pa. 
 
 Heckler didn't know when the Virginia deaths occurred but said Egland's former mother-in-law, 66-year-old Barbara Reuhl of Buckingham, Pa., was believed to have been killed Saturday night. 
 
 Later that night, Egland went to St. Luke's Hospital in Quakertown, where he tried to leave his young daughter along with a note, Heckler said. After a male nurse or orderly confronted him, he allegedly flashed a pistol, and the hospital worker called police with a description of the suspect and his black pickup truck. 
 
 Just before midnight, the truck was stopped by state and local police in Doylestown Township, where he allegedly fired shots from a semi-automatic rifle, hitting a Doylestown officer in the arm and shattering a windshield that sent glass into the face of a Dublin officer. 
 
 The truck was spotted around 4 a.m. Sunday parked at a restaurant in a Warwick Township shopping center, and local officers spotted the suspect in the same area about an hour later and reported being fired upon. No one was hit. Police issued an alert to residents to consider the suspect armed and dangerous. 
 
 Heckler said the suspect later apparently tried unsuccessfully to break into a home. Emergency dispatchers said he was still being sought Sunday afternoon by state and local police with the aid of two SWAT teams and dogs. He was believed to be on foot. 
 
 By late afternoon, Warwick Township Deputy Police Chief Mark Goldberg told WCAU-TV that SWAT operations had ceased. 
 
 "We've been unable to locate him, we don't know where he is," Goldberg told the station. "Up until now, we've been telling people, `Please stay in your houses, keep your houses secure and locked, lock your cars.' At this point, I would say to people to use common senses in using your own security. ... You can't reasonably lock yourselves in your home forever." 
 
 Egland had recently returned from the latest of three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Heckler said. He didn't have details on his rank or military service. 

 A soldier suspected of killing four people was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound in after a daylong manhunt during which he fired at and injured officers, authorities said.

 The body of Leonard John Egland, 37, was found Sunday in suburban Philadelphia, where he had been sought since early morning, said Pennsylvania State Police spokesman David Lynch. 
 
 Egland fired at officers as he was sought in the Virginia deaths of his ex-wife, her boyfriend and the boyfriend's young son, as well as his former mother-in-law in Pennsylvania, police said. 
 
 Local residents had been asked to stay in their homes and lock doors and cars as local and state police and two commando teams searched for Egland, who evaded authorities as Hurricane Irene lashed the area. 
 
 A rifle and pistol were found with the body, which was discovered more than 10 hours after Egland fired at police, authorities said. 
 
 Egland had recently returned from the latest of three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, said David Heckler, district attorney in Bucks County.
– A soldier suspected of killing four and evading police amid Hurricane Irene was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound after leading police on a manhunt all day. Leonard John Egland, 37, had recently returned home to Virginia from the most recent of three Iraq and Afghanistan deployments, and is believed to have killed his ex-wife, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend’s young son in that state, as well as his former mother-in-law in Pennsylvania. He later shot at police officers in suburban Philadelphia, and residents of Warwick Township were instructed to stay inside and lock their doors, the AP reports. Egland evaded authorities as the storm raged. "I have no idea whether he's acting on impulse or whether this storm played a part in his thinking," says a DA. Though it is not known when three of the deaths occurred, the mother-in-law is believed to have been killed in Pennsylvania last night. Later in the evening, he flashed a pistol after attempting to leave his daughter alone at a Pennsylvania hospital. When he was stopped just before midnight in Doylestown, he allegedly fired a semi-automatic rifle at officers, hitting one in the arm and sending shattering glass into the face of another. He again allegedly fired on officers this morning, and later allegedly attempted to break into a home. He was found dead in suburban Philadelphia along with a rifle and pistol.
