BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio May 29, 2005 — Six people, including two children, were found shot to death Sunday morning in neighboring farmhouses, and investigators believe one of the dead was responsible for the slayings, a sheriff's officer said.

The same family owned both houses on a farm of several hundred acres. Two bodies were found in one farmhouse and four were found in another.

Authorities said the shootings probably happened between 6 and 10 a.m. at the farm west of Bellefontaine, a town of 13,000 people about 45 miles northwest of Columbus.

"I've being doing this for 35 years, and I've never seen anything like this," Logan County Sheriff's Lt. Chuck Stout said.
