A man has been arrested in the shocking Wednesday morning massacre of three children and one woman in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Cohen Bennett Hancz-Barron, 21, was arrested and charged with four counts of murder after being apprehended by authorities later that same day. Considered “armed and extremely dangerous,” by local law enforcement, a multi-agency manhunt ensued and the suspect was in custody by 5:00 p.m. after being discovered in another city.
Hancz-Barron was allegedly identified by friends and family as the likely culprit and was believed to have been driving a stolen pickup truck as he left the scene of the grisly grime, according to police.

Killers who dismember their victim s bodies are often motivated by vindictiveness, a forensic psychologist says.
“It s likely there s some emotional connection, some relationship that went bad and it can be anything, but it s got to be a real bad feeling, tremendous rage, anger. This person might feel disrespected in some way, but a person who does this has a core issue,” Dr. Charles Heller, a forensic psychologist based in New York City who has spent 40 years testifying as an expert witness in court cases, said this week during an interview.
