URGENT AMBER ALERT: 7-YEAR OLD OHIO BOY

After investigating a fatal shooting, authorities have issued an Amber Alert for a 7-year-old boy. The child was taken from the fatal shooting scene Thursday afternoon at the Towne Park apartments on the city’s west side.
The child,identified as Zane Bedinger, is 4-feet tall and weighs around 65 pounds. He was last seen wearing gray swim trunks with black flowers and flip flops. Zane has blonde hair and brown eyes and is very tan.
The suspect is Jeff Bedinger, a 50-year-old white male who is 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds. Jeff Bedinger is Zane’s father. Bedinger fled the scene in a silver 2007 Honda Accord with Ohio license plate EDT 6246. If you see them, call 911. The suspect is considered armed with a 9 mm gun and is considered dangerous. The child is in grave danger.
“Do not try to intercede, this subject has been involved in a shooting, and we consider him armed and dangerous. Please call 911 or your local law enforcement authority if you notice the vehicle or this child. Let us do what we do,” Troy Police Capt. Chuck Adams.
The mother lived at the Towne Park Apartment with her two sons — one of whom is dead and the other is Zane, the missing child. Jeff Bendinger is the stepfather to the victim and could be heading to Indianapolis, Troy Det. Capt. Chris Anderson said.
The mother was away from the apartment when the shooting occurred. When she came back, she saw Zane with Jeff Bedinger in the car and found her 22-year-old son shot in the apartment.
