Two people have died and a third is not expected to survive in Florida after authorities in Florida say a man went on a rampage with a baseball bat and a knife.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a press conference that the suspect, 39-year-old Shaun Runyon, was in Polk County, Florida, with a Pennsylvania electric company doing work for Publix Supermarkets’ when a dispute at work prompted him to return to his company-rented housing and attack several people.
Police say Runyon punched a supervisor at work around 2 A.M. on Friday and fled. He was not seen or heard from until Saturday morning around 9:45 when police received a report of a murder in Davenport, Florida, in a neighborhood where Runyon and his co-workers were being housed by their employer.
According to police, the 39-year-old beat one victim to death with a baseball bat while the victim was asleep in bed, and a second victim was found dead on the front porch. A third victim was badly beaten and is in a hospital in "extremely critical condition." A fourth victim was hit in the neck with a bat by Runyon but escaped. Three more victims, including a 7-year-old girl, escaped without being harmed.
After the attack, Runyon fled and knocked on the door of a home in Lake Wales, Florida, covered in blood and telling homeowners he had been raped. He then shed his bloody clothes and went to a hospital at the suggestion of the homeowners. He was taken into custody by police at the hospital.

Thank goodness he didn’t use a gun.
That’s a guy with a rage problem
Everyone seems to be wound a little tight these days. Some are wound tighter than others.
And he’ll probably get the vaccine in prison.
And butt raped…
#FloridaMan is going feral.
Polk county was the star in the “Live PD” show.
Lesson: Do Not Hire anyone from Northeastern states that are Tradesmen. They are almost universally Rabid Leftist Union Thugs with little to no self-control.
Remember Hurricane Sandy? The NJ/NYC area was without power and the prognosis was it would be that way for many weeks.
Electric Workers from the Southern States mobilized to help. Brining Manpower and much-needed electric infrastructure with them to help.
The Union Thug Leftists mobilized to en masse to stop them from entering their states. They told these guys that took the time and effort to try to help the people of that region to get the F__K OUT!!! You non Union Scum are Not Welcome here.
Actually, from the story, this was a Pennsylvania Man doing temporary work in Florida (with the Pennsylvania company).
"“Live PD”"
Well, that explains it. Typically, #FloridaMan isn’t so homicidal, as far as I know.
;^)
Looks a bit gay.
I think it’s a Union thing... X^D
That was Pasco County, north of St. Petersburg; Polk County is east of Tampa, where your Chajin and numerous other FReepers reside.
We can hope.
You are correct.
