NC police looking for man after finding 4 dead

CONOVER, N.C. — North Carolina authorities are looking for a man who may have information about the deaths of four people found in a Catawba County home.

WSOC-TV reports that the bodies of a woman and her three children – two girls and a young boy – were found around 7 a.m. Thursday in a home just north of Conover. Authorities say the
victims all had been either shot or stabbed to death.

Officials say a neighbor called 911 after seeing the mother attacked on her front porch.

Authorities are looking for a man in his late 30s or early 40s, about 5-foot-4 who was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweat shirt. Officials say he may be in a black or dark blue Toyota Camry.

Four nearby schools have been put on lockdown while authorities search the area.

Conover is about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte.
