A man in Florida allegedly killed six people in deadly shooting spree across Sarasota and Fort Lauderdale before taking his own life, authorities said.

Sarasota shooting victims, suspected gunman identified. Investigators say the shooting is connected to a separate double homicide in Fort Lauderdale.

The victims included an 18-year-old "whose life had only just begun" and a "devoted mother, wife and heart of the family."

A man suspected of killing six people in two Florida homes, located over 200 miles apart, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with police linking the incidents through a previous romantic relationship.

Firefighters in Sarasota County saved someone on the 17th floor of a construction site by using a tower crane to get them down.

The city of Sarasota — hugging its namesake bay and dotted with numerous waterfront homes and restaurants — reclaimed the No. 10 spot in a recent ranking of Florida’s emerging boating hotspots by an international organization.
