DETROIT, Aug. 19 � Four children ages of 1 to 12 years old were found shot � three fatally � in the basement of a burning home, and their father was being sought for questioning Wednesday.

The surviving child, a 9-year-old girl, was in critical condition at Sinai-Grace Hospital, police officer Christopher Cole said.

Police believe the father, Anthony Lamar Bailey, 37, fled the scene on a bicycle after the blaze started sometime before 9 p.m. Tuesday. Authorities were not calling Bailey a suspect, but urged residents to dial 911 if they see him.

2. This was on the news this morning

I live in the area and this is the second of this type of case recently. We had a guy who just got paroled who killed his wife and two stepchildren, yet left his child, a very young child of 3 alive. That case was not in Detroit, it was in Pontiac.

The mother had went to police begging for protection. They sent her away.
