Father Shoots Daughters in Jacksonville | Jacksonville News

A Jacksonville father, 29, is facing murder charges after allegedly opening fire on his own family—killing his 4-year-old daughter and critically injuring his 2-year-old and mother—just after arriving to pick them up. Footage shows the children warmly greeting him before the horror. The suspect, reportedly intoxicated and with no memory of the attack, fired 15 shots from a single magazine before fleeing in his mother’s car, leading to a brief chase and his arrest. Shell casings and a magazine were found in the yard. The mother and younger daughter survived but face long recoveries. The suspect, with a prior felony, is held without bail. His mother, who witnessed the shooting, said he apologized before stealing her car and tried to help the victims. He claims his relationship with the children’s mother has been strained. A GoFundMe has been launched to aid the survivors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
