CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: In New Jersey, five people are dead in a shooting rampage overnight. Police in Ocean County say the chief suspect is one of their own, an off-duty police officer -- the story from reporter Tamsen Fadal of CNN affiliate station KYW.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TAMSEN FADAL, CNN AFFILIATE KYW REPORTER (on camera): The SWAT team has surrounded the location here behind me, George Road and Second Avenue, where police say six people were shot. Five are dead. And investigators are now looking for a 15-year veteran of the Seaside Heights Police Department.

(voice-over): Police say Edward Lutes is the alleged trigger man, a 15-year veteran of the department. They say there are actually two houses involved in these murders.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: At this time, he appears to be the suspect involved in this unfortunate incident, and we are looking to locate him. He lives in one residence, the two victims to the rear of his house, and there are three victims across from his house.

FADAL: Then investigators say the officer drove to Barnegat and opened fire again.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We believe that he is responsible for the shooting of Chief Costello, who is the Seaside Heights police chief.

FADAL (on camera): Later this morning, police are expected to release more information. At this point, their main concern is trying to find the suspect.
