The Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings just before 11:45 Monday morning has left five people dead, federal officials told ABC News. The Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings took place in at least three separate locations, according to ABC station WPVI-TV in Philadelphia.

Police in three Montgomery County communities responded to the early Monday killings.

The first response to the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings came as police responded 3:55 a.m. to a shooting in Lower Salford Township with the dead woman dead.

Police tactical personnel stationed themselves outside the row home in the 100 block of Penn Avenue. Media reports also said there had been a police negotiator there.

After that, two more people were found shot dead a half-hour later in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, according to Channel 6. Later, another two people were discovered shot to death in Souderton.

SWAT teams surrounded a home at Penn and Highland avenues in Souderton. They believed a suspect to be barricaded inside after witnesses heard a loud boom and shortly before someone was taken out of the house placed on a stretcher. He was reportedly rushed to a waiting medical helicopter and flown to an area trauma center.

That person was not believed to be the suspected gunman in the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings. SWAT team members found the injured male, according to officials.

The man is a military veteran, according to WPVI. It is not known if he had been in the Montgomery County home at the time of the chaos.

A fourth scene into the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings also occurred in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania to which SWAT teams responded to. However, it still remains clear what they found there, WPVI reported.

As a result of the Pennsburg SWAT's response to the separate incidents, the Upper Perkiomen Valley School District placed its schools on lockout, district officials told parents.

As of the current moment, police and county officials have very little information about the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings. Meanwhile, Bucks County officials said they are assisting in the response, according to NBC Philadelphia.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman is also expected to issue a statement on the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings from an operations center set up at the Lower Salford Police Station.

According to WPVI, police expect the death toll from the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings to rise.

A news conference is planned for the Lower Salford municipal building. However, authorities have not yet announced a time, reports lehighvalleylive.com.
