A Florida man fatally shot his girlfriend and three of her relatives — including a 4-year-old girl — after an argument early Friday, police said.
One other member of the family survived the massacre by shooter Shavell Jordan Jones, 23, and fled to a neighbor’s house, where cops were called, in accordance with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies found the bodies of a 49-year-old woman, two of her adult daughters – 28 and 29 – and her 4-year-old granddaughter. All had fatal gunshot wounds to the top.
Jones shot himself in the top but survived, and was in surgery Friday afternoon, Orange County Sheriff John Mina reported at a press conference.
Mina said two other babies were in the house when the massacre erupted, but hid under their blankets once they heard the gunfire. Neither were harmed.
Jones had been in a romantic relationship with one in all the victims, with whom he argued the previous night, Mina said. Jones left the house, only to return with a gun and open fire, Mina said.
Police said the couple didn’t have a record of domestic violence. and noted Jones had no criminal history apart from a previous misdemeanor.
The girl who escaped the shooting was expected to get better.
