Sheriff’s investigators say a man fatally shot his 1-year-old daughter and injured his 7-year-old son before killing himself during an argument with the children’s mother along a South Florida road.
The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday in Dania Beach, which is just south of Fort Lauderdale.
Broward Sheriff’s spokeswoman Gina Carter tells local news outlets the family was traveling in their vehicle. She says the mother got out of the car, trying to get to a relative’s home for help.
While she was inside, she heard gunshots. Carter says 32-year-old Timothy Hollis and Kalila Hollis were dead at the scene. Timothy Hollis Jr. was taken to a hospital with critical injuries.
Carter says investigators don’t know what sparked the argument. The mother’s name hasn’t been released.

Christians need to pray like never before to turn back our country to God and repent and He will deliver us from these baby killers and put Christ back in our schools so our children who have never heard of Crist Jesus, may learn how they are to live here on earth to achieve God ‘s home in Heaven.

It should be reported about every crazed killer, which drugs they were taking. We would then start to see the pattern. Shame on our useless media.
