(14 Nov 2018) Authorities in Ohio say four family members arrested in the 2016 shootings of eight people carefully planned the killing for months. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the four on aggravated murder charges and that each of them could be sentenced to death if convicted. DeWine says he can't release many details about the motive, but he did say the custody of young child played a role. Authorities took into custody four members of the Wagner family who had lived in southern Ohio, but moved to Alaska after the killings. A lawyer representing the family says they will be vindicated. Sheriff Charles Reader told reporters that Pike County is a "place that doesn't let cowardly murderers get away with their crimes under the cover of darkness."
