Man suspected of killing 6 people at 2 residences in Florida: Authorities

Law enforcement in Fort Lauderdale and Sarasota County on Wednesday both identified 51-year-old Russell Kot as a suspect in the homicides.

A man is suspected of killing two people, including a person he was in a prior relationship with, and then gunning down four more at another home hundreds of miles away in connected homicides, authorities in Florida said.

Law enforcement in Fort Lauderdale and Sarasota County on Wednesday both identified 51-year-old Russell Kot as a suspect in the homicides. He died of apparent self-inflicted wounds on Tuesday following his alleged killing spree, authorities said.

Deputies in Sarasota County initially responded midday Tuesday to a shooting at a residence in a gated community, authorities said.

Four people were killed -- including a man who was shot while approaching the front door, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. Two women and another man were found dead inside the home, located in the Amberlea neighborhood, authorities said.

The suspect, Kot, was also found dead in the home, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said. Video showed his vehicle entering the neighborhood at around 11 a.m. Tuesday, it said. Shortly after, a neighbor's Ring camera captured the sound of gunfire, the sheriff's office said.
