Total coward. Killed his ex -girlfriend then went and shot her 2 unarmed parents. This is the kind of murder we should have capital punishment for. After trial…why should we spend our resources housing and feeding such a human?…http://mynews4.com/news/local/silver-springs-man-arrested-for-deaths-of-3-in-silver-springs
