The shooting unfolded before dawn at two adjacent homes on the same property near Lakeland, Florida. Nine hours earlier, deputies received a 911 call from the same home, and a woman reported a strange man parked near her residence who told her he was there because "God sent me here to speak with one of your daughters." Deputies responded within six minutes, but the man was nowhere to be found. ... The sheriff said the same man returned to the home around 4:30 a.m. Sunday and unleashed a barrage of fatal gunfire. A sheriff's lieutenant initially tried to enter the front door, but it was barricaded. When the lieutenant went to the back of the house, a gunfight erupted. ... When the shooting subsided, [the shooter], who was shot once, walked out of the home with his hands up and surrendered.
