This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen.

The suspect, who authorities believe acted alone, is reported to be the "descendant" of some of the children. In a desperate attempt to evade capture, the man fled the scene in a stolen vehicle, only to be shot by law enforcement officers. Thankfully, no officers were injured during the pursuit.
