Authorities say a 5-year-old Webster County girl told police her father fatally shot three people following an altercation Wednesday night, after which the man's wife attempted to hide the bodies.
Michael York (left) was captured at about 10 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 79 near the Amma exit, 85 miles from the crime scene near Cowan.
Both York and his wife Amanda, 27, are in Central Regional Jail, with bond yet to be set.
So far, police have only identified one of the victims, Dustin Brown, 26, of Hacker Valley. A man and woman in the shooting haven't been identified.
Police indicated the murders are related to drugs.
Amanda York reportedly told police that she and her husband had been in an altercation with the three shooting victims at another residence.
When the Yorks returned to their home, the three victims showed up and continued the altercation, according to a news release.
