US soldier sought in 4 deaths found dead

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a soldier being sought in the deaths of four people has been found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Pennsylvania State Police spokesman David Lynch says the body of 37-year-old Leonard John Egland was found Sunday in Pennsylvania, where he had been sought since early morning.

Police say Lynch 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.

Authorities say Egland had recently returned from the latest of three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
