Middletown (AP) - The brother of a man wanted in the bookstore shooting death of a Wesleyan student says he hopes authorities find him before anyone else gets hurt.

Greg Morgan tells The Associated Press that his family is "absolutely distraught" and hopes police find his brother, Stephen Morgan. He says the family wants to be sure "no one else gets hurt."

He says family members unsuccessfully tried to contact Stephen. He said he has no idea where his brother is.

Police said Morgan may now be targeting the school and Jews. Asked about that, Greg Morgan said "I don't think he was capable of anything."

Investigators believe that Stephen Morgan disguised himself with a wig and shot 21-year-old Johanna Justin-Jinich, a junior from Timnath, Colo., at a cafe inside a bookstore.
