BLISSFIELD, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a suspect being sought in the shooting deaths of two sisters in southeast Michigan is believed to be one of the women's ex-boyfriend.

Michigan State Police Lt. Mardella Horhn said Sunday authorities are looking for 38-year-old Thomas Fritz of Sylvania, Ohio, who hasn't been charged but is wanted for questioning. Horhn says he is considered armed and dangerous.

Trooper Sean Street at the Monroe post says a nationwide search is under way for Fritz.

State police say 24-year-old Lisa Gritzmaker, 34-year-old Amy Merrill and their mother were shot about 11:40 p.m. Friday in Blissfield, about 20 miles northwest of Toledo, Ohio. Police found the women at the home after responding to a 911 call from one of the victims.

The mother is conscious and expected to live.
