2 dead, 1 critically injured after Florida electrician attacks his colleagues at the home they shared following an angry dispute with his supervisor, Polk County sheriff says.
An electrician who got in an angry dispute with a supervisor attacked his colleagues at the Florida home they shared on a temporary work project, killing two Saturday and injuring a third who wasn't expected to survive, a sheriff said.
Runyon returned to the home where he and seven coworkers and their families were living and began attacking them with a knife and baseball bat, beating one man to death while he slept, Judd said. Runyon chased a fourth victim into the street and struck him with the bat. Another man escaped unharmed with his wife and 7-year-old daughter, Judd said.Runyon fled the home, leaving a bloody trail that eventually went cold, prompting a large-scale manhunt involving dozens of deputies, K-9 units, drones and a helicopter, authorities said.
The sheriff said charges will be forthcoming against Runyon, who was not injured. The identities of the victims were not immediately released.
