as bad," he said. "Weather conditions were horrible and it was a very dangerous situation." He said the SWAT teams had "performed courageously." With Egland on the run, armed with two weapons, residents were warned to stay indoors and keep their doors locked, the police chief said. The storm-lashed manhunt, Goldberg said, "tied up departments all over Bucks County ... It didn't prevent us from responding during the storm but it certainly taxed our resources," he said. Three Bucks County SWAT teams, state police and numerous police departments searched for Egland after his former mother-in-law was found shot to death in her home in Buckingham. Authorities in Virginia said Egland had earlier killed his former wife, her boyfriend and the boyfriend's young son before taking his own young daughter on a frantic drive through Irene's winds and rains into Pennsylvania. The girl, believed by Goldberg to be about 6 years old, was abandoned Saturday night by Egland, physically unharmed, at St. Luke's Hospital in Quakertown, apparently after the child's grandmother was killed. A note was left with the child, authorities said. Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler said a nurse or orderly confronted Egland but the officer flashed a pistol and got away. The hospital worker called police with a description of the suspect and his black pickup truck. Just before midnight, the truck was stopped by state and local police in Doylestown Township. Officers said the suspect fired shots from a semiautomatic rifle, hitting an officer in the arm and shattering a windshield that sent glass into the face of a Dublin officer. Goldberg said both officers had been released from a hospital. The body, found in woods behind the gas station and a business under renovation, matched Egland's description, Goldberg said. Goldberg said that because of the lockdown, numerous residents were prevented from checking for storm damage at their homes. "I know just from the way the phones were ringing in the police station that it was causing a great deal of anxiety among our people, and for us as well," he said. "It's a tragic event, but at least our residents can rest easy." Police in Chesterfield County, Virginia, said Pennsylvania police had asked officers at 1 a.m. Sunday to check on the welfare of people at a home, where officers found the bodies of Egland's ex-wife, her boyfriend and his child. Names of the victims were not being released pending notification of relatives. A spokesman said the suspect had no known criminal
