A 5-month-old was among four children found unharmed inside a Tamarac home where a man shot and killed a woman before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.
Broward Sheriff's Office officials said deputies responded to the home in the 5800 block of Hampton Hills Boulevard early Thursday after receiving a 911 hang-up call.
Deputies were able to make contact with a child on the second floor before they entered the home and found the bodies of a man and woman on the kitchen floor.
Officials said Friday that it appears 39-year-old Russell Gardner shot the woman multiple times before he fatally shot himself.
