A man shot and killed four people before taking his own life this morning in Miami, police said.
A sergeant with the Miami Police Department's homicide division said the man, wielding a semi-automatic handgun, killed three females and a male inside a house in the city's Little Havana district shortly after midnight.
He then drove away and turned the gun on himself at his home, which he had apparently set on fire, about five kilometres miles away.
"It was domestic-related," the sergeant said. "The wife left him and he tracked her down, unfortunately." He declined to elaborate, saying the case was still under investigation.
In Alabama last week, near that state's southeast border with Florida, a man shot and killed 10 people including his mother, grandmother, uncle and two cousins, before shooting himself dead.
