Five Dead In Ohio

"NEWTON FALLS, OH — Police here believe a village man shot and killed four people Friday before fleeing to a nearby cemetery and fatally shooting himself in the chest after a short stand-off with police, ending an hours-long manhunt.

"Records, family interviews and police sources said Robert Brazzon, 55, fatally shot his girlfriend, Tracey Engler, 38, at the couple's 604-A Newton Drive home, then killed Rikki Cogley, 42, his wife Kathy Cogley, 39, and her son, 15-year-old Everett Greathouse at their 72 Trumbull Court home.

"Brazzon then drove a white Dodge Intrepid to the Newton Township Cemetery on Ridge Road where he took his own life, according to a release from Newton Falls police Chief John Kuivila.

"The Cogleys and Greathouse all had multiple gunshot wounds, according to police.

"Another man, who police said drove with Brazzon during parts of the four-hour manhunt, was being questioned by investigators late Friday but had not been arrested.

"Investigators taped off the area surrounding both homes, which were separated by a narrow street about a block a part. Nearby residents watched the events unfold for most of the day.

"No motive has been given for the shootings.

"About 4 p.m., Kuivila and dozens of other officers who were still gathering evidence from the 72 Trumbull Court home, raced to their vehicles and drove to the cemetery. They quickly surrounded Robert Brazzon, who shot himself in the chest, police said.

"Police found the white Intrepid in the cemetery."
