(AP) Hutchinson police say a man is in custody after he allegedly broke into a home on Sunday and groped a 10-year-old girl and two 9-year-olds.

Police Lt. John Moore says the girls’ father chased the suspect, 21-year-old Tyler Lee Ford from the home and police later found him walking in the area.

Officers responding to the call found the suspect’s cell phone in the girls’ bedroom. Police say the girls don’t know Ford, who lives within a block of their home.

Kansas Department of Corrections records show the suspect was convicted of theft in November of 2012 and burglary and theft in June. He is currently on intensive supervised probation.

8 p.m. Defense officials say Aaron Alexis, identified as the gunman who opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard, was a full-time Navy reservist from 2007 to 2011 and worked recently as a Defense Department contractor.

He also prayed at a Buddhist temple, was taking online course in aeronautics and was involved in past shooting incidents which attracted police attention in Seattle and Fort Worth, Texas.

It was not immediately clear why Alexis left the reserves, who his latest employer was, or what his motives might have been for going on a rampage. He was one of 13 people killed during Monday’s shootings.

Police in Seattle say Alexis was arrested there in 2004 for shooting out the tires of another man’s vehicle in what he described to detectives as an anger-fueled “blackout.”

He said several people were shot Monday morning at the Washington Navy Yard about 3 1/2 miles from the White House, and some were killed.
