Chilling audio recordings of two emergency calls on the day that a shooter killed eight members of the same family in Ohio have been released by authorities.

The killings were carried out “execution style” across four homes in Pike County on Friday.

Seven adults and one 16-year-old were killed. Three children survived the shootings, including a new born baby who was sleeping near its dead mother.

As authorities hunt for the shooter, the Ohio state attorney general’s office has made available the audio recordings for two relatives of the Rhoden family who called 911.

In the first call, which took place around 8am on Friday, a woman called Bobby, breathless and distressed, tells the operator: “There’s blood all over the house” and that someone had “beat the hell out of him”, referring to her brother in law.

She reports another family member lying dead on the floor.

“Is there anyone else in the house?” the operator asks.

“Not that I know of,” the woman replies.

The operator tells her to wait outside for the emergency services.

In the second call on the same day, Donald Stone says: “All that stuff that’s on the news, I just found my cousin with a gunshot wound,” referring to 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden.

“Is he alive?” the operator asks.

“No, no,” he replies.

The victims have been identified as Hannah Gilley, 20, Christopher Rhoden, Sr., 40, Christopher Rhoden, Jr., 16, Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20, Dana Rhoden, 37, Gary Rhoden, 38, Hanna Rhoden, 22, and Kenneth Rhoden, 44.

“Obviously we have one person who is armed and dangerous and there may be more, two or three,” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said on Friday.

Authorities said they have interviewed more than 30 people but have made no arrests.

On Saturday Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader and General DeWine said in a joint statement that investigators worked through the night processing evidence at the scene.

Officials said a Cincinnati-based businessman put up a $25,000 reward for information on the killer or killers.

Authorities refused to discuss details about the crime scenes, like the weapons used, the evidence that has been collected or whether any items were missing from the homes.

They urged remaining members of the Rhoden family to take precautions and said residents should also be wary.
