Neighbors told WBZ TV that Pennington was an Air Force veteran and they sometimes saw his young children playing outside.

"Little kids," said neighbor Peter Sargent. "I gave them some die-cast airplanes because I talked to him one time, he was Air Force."

Anyone who sees Pennington is asked to call police and not approach him, as he is considered armed and dangerous.
