Former US army sniper kills four, including baby, in Florida

The attacker, who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, also wounded an 11-year-old girl with seven gunshots.

A former sniper in the US military killed four people, including a woman and her three-month-old baby boy in her arms, before surrendering to police in central Florida. The suspect, identified as Bryan Riley, 33, also wounded an 11-year-old girl who underwent surgery for seven gunshot injuries, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told a news conference on Sunday. Riley, who had no connection to the victims, engaged in an intense shoot-out with police before giving up. He later tried to grab a police officer’s gun while being treated in the hospital for his own gunshot wound, before being subdued again, Judd said.
