Orlando police officers who responded to a domestic dispute Monday were met with gunfire, which seriously wounded an officer and launched a standoff with the gunman, who then barricaded himself in an apartment with four young children.
Shortly before midnight, Orlando police and Orange County deputies announced that the suspect and the children had died.
Updates below:
12:00 a.m.
The suspect accused of shooting an Orlando police officer in the face and holding four children hostage for nearly 24 hours killed the children and then killed himself, police said.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said they lost communication with Gary Lindsey about 8:30 p.m., but were still trying to end the situation peacefully.
They said Lindsey’s phone had a poor connection, so negotiators tried to get him another phone.
Once they did, SWAT team members were able to see that one of the children was dead.
Mina said the children were shot.
"Our hearts go out to the family of those four children. A long day like this is physically and emotionally draining," Mina said.
The officer who was shot, Kevin Valencia, remains in critical condition but is expected to survive, Mina said.
The identities of the children have not been released.
Four children are dead following a hostage situation and a standoff with a suspect accused of shooting an Orlando police officer in the face.
The suspect, Gary Lindsey, is also dead, police and sheriff's office sources told Channel 9.

All of the children were under the age of accountability and thus went straight to Heaven.

I was thinking the same exact thing!
To STOP these kinds of crazy mass shootings of kids, perhaps were need to just BAN CHILDREN! Or at least, to REGISTER them - maybe require PERMITS for them!

Excellent post!
Personally I think the Age of Grace is almost out of gas.
The lost haven’t seen anything yet.
The family court judge must have figured his parental rights overrode any concerns for the safety of the children and decided his criminal record did not bar visitation. Awful truth.
With DV charges against him that is the stupidest family court judge ever
The girlfriend who fled and called the police LEFT THE CHILDREN IN THE APARTMENT EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW HE WAS VIOLENT. I have no words that have more than four letters to describe her. YOU ABANDONED THOSE SWEET INNOCENTS TO A MONSTER. Damn your soul.
Beyond stupid.
Freak and coward! Burn in Hell!
So very sad to see the photos of these beautiful vibrant children. Please donate to the Go Fund Me site!
It’s Flori-Duh!
#25. A lot of families named a son for John Wayne because they wanted their son to be a “man” like Wayne.
Sometimes, I suspect, the kid couldn’t handle their expectations, which made them turn inward, get mad about themselves, then their family and anyone caught in the way of his revenge for being inadequate or a disappointment.
we always say grace before our meals....I think we need to throw in the Our Father as well...
Thanks for your post - I find something enigmatic about this case. For one thing, there is almost a news blackout. No one is covering the story. Usually, the deaths of four children in such circumstances would be front page news everywhere - even overseas. It also is social relevant, because of the preoccupation about gun control.
Yet - there is hardly a word about it.
