Deland, FL: Official: Man shoots, kills ex, then himself

A new mother and her ex-boyfriend are both dead after a murder-suicide Saturday night in the Glenwood area near DeLand, a Volusia County sheriff's dispatch supervisor said.

The shootings occurred shortly after 8 p.m. at 1775 Carr St., sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught confirmed late Saturday. The home is listed by the Volusia County Property Appraiser as belonging to Barbara Jane Price.

Haught said an adult male shot and killed an adult female and then himself inside the home. Names of the victims, both found dead at the scene, won't be released until family members are notified, Haught said. The sheriff's dispatch supervisor said the resident's daughter has a 4-week-old baby.

Investigators were still at the scene late Saturday night; no other details were available.
