China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS)has issued a Class A warrant for the arrest of a 42-year-old man suspected of murdering four villagers.

Ning Yongfeng, a native of Jiuzhou village, of Langfang city in north China's Hebei Province, allegedly killed four of his fellow villagers with a hunting rifle at around 11 p.m. on Saturday, the MPS said.

Anyone who provides information that leads to Ning's arrest will receive a reward of 50,000 yuan (6,580 U.S. dollars), according to the MPS.

Local police said the fugitive was probably armed and have informed citizens via the media that the killer is on the loose.
