Police in upstate New York are searching for a suspect after shootings at two different businesses left four people dead and at least two wounded.

State police tell local media outlets two unidentified people were shot and killed Wednesday morning at a car wash in the village of Herkimer and two others were killed in a barber shop in the village of Mohawk, east of Syracuse.

They say a total of six people were shot.

Herkimer Village police would only say that there was a shooting and a manhunt.

Herkimer County Community College and local schools are on lockdown.
