A grandfather has killed his daughter and her six children in Bell, Florida.
The 51-year-old gunman, Don Charles Spirit, shot his daughter and her children, whose ages range from 3-months to 10-years-old, after which he took his own life.
The police found seven bodies in the house, although there were other people there who were still alive.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, the grandfather was once behind bars for a gun charge, and was released in February 2006.
Gilchrist County Sheriff, Robert Schultz said a colleague responded to reports of a shooting on the afternoon of Thursday, 7 September, and on arrival made contact with Spirit before he killed himself.
He said, “I haven’t seen anything like this at all. This county, this community is going to be devastated from this. It is a small county, we are all family here. We’re asking for prayers for this community and the families involved.”
