Eight dead in Florida house shooting

A grandfather shot dead his daughter and her six children before taking his own life at a home in Bell, Florida, police have said.

The children range in age from 3 months to 10 years old, said Gilchrist County Sheriff Robert Schultz.

The authorities have identified the gunman as Don Charles Spirit, 51.

Police have said they received a call from Spirit making threats to his family and himself before he committed suicide.

"I haven't seen anything like this at all," said Schultz.

"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."

Welcome to the Gunshine state.

They shot a house?

Oh, ok, so a legal gun owner went bad and used his legally acquired gun to shoot the people that the gun was supposed to defend? That's unexpected.

What religion is he? Because I heard Islam is the most "violent" of them all...

If only the daughter and the kids had a gun each they could've taken out grandpa and none of this should have come to pass.

We need more guns out there to become a safer nation.

Kind of says a lot about your inner workings, that you think this is a positive story. Just sad....

Appears he has done time already for weapon charges, someone must have forgot to tell him about the gun laws in Florida.

Another person who ignored all the gun laws already in place. Maybe a few more would have made a difference

[Curmudgeon 227]

Bottom line, these tragedies are an American phenomenon. Countries who's citizens have concluded that weapons in the home are for the most part best avoided don't run these stories on a daily basis. You got your rights, now go ahead and shoulder your responsibilities. People who do not own guns or store them in homes are not contributing to this statistic, period.

Theres always one person who takes literally what is clearly ironic because they want to get one over on someone they don't like.

Dave you should really try and be less predictable. Naturally of course I am very happy that this family has been murdered, because as everyone well knows, that's the sort of person I am.

I shall return to my plate of roasted human flesh and raise a toast to your (and your +1 toadies) insightfulness with another cup of child's blood.

Exactly. It's an insane mindset.

For these jokers, more guns are always the answer.

Sick sick people.

Spirit already had a lengthy criminal record stretching back 22 years, according to Florida corrections records. Reports from 2003 show that one charge, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, came after he pleaded guilty to accidentally shooting and killing his 8-year-old son while they were out hunting. He was sentenced to three years in prison. Spirit was also convicted of depriving a child of food and shelter, battery, and possession of drug paraphernalia between 1992 and 1995. Schultz said officers had previously 'been out to that residence on numerous law enforcement occasions.' The victims were identified as Sarah Lorraine Spirit, 28, and her daughters Alanna Stewart, 2½ months, Brandon Stewart, 4, Destiny Stewart, 5, and Kylie Kuhlmann, 9, and sons Johnathon Kuhlmann, 8, and Kaleb Kuhlmann, 11. 'This is something you can't explain,' Schultz said at a press conference. 'I will continue to ask everybody to pray for the families.'
