A former Buffalo resident has been connected to the shootings of four females in Queens, New York. Three of the victims have died. Investigators state that Jonathon Walker shot his common law wife, his mother-in-law and his two daughters early Saturday morning. The 34-year-old Walker is then believed to have taken his own life. One of the daughters survived the shooting and is listed in critical condition.

Walker was previously a student at Daemen College.

The reason for the shootings remains under investigation.
