ORLANDO (WKMG) - The sheriff said two little girls hid when Shavell Jordan Jones started shooting around 4 a.m. Friday at a home on Myers.
Authorities said while he is in the hospital recovering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, detectives continue their search for answers.
“It’s never easy to make sense of these tragedies,” Orange County Sheriff John Mina said.
He said a 49-year-old woman, her two daughters and 4-year-old granddaughter are the victims of a shooting on Myers Drive on Friday morning.
Apparently what led up to this was some type of argument.
Detectives said a fight between the suspected shooter and his girlfriend led to him opening fire.
“At some point, Jones began to remove his belongings from the home and then re-entered the home and began shooting,” Mina said.
Two little girls, ages 4 and 6, survived.
“They hid under their blankets when the shooting started and, thankfully, we found them unharmed,” Mina said.
The sheriff said their mother, who was also shot, went to a neighbor’s house to call for help. That call led deputies to the tragic discovery.
“They entered the home on Myers Drive and found three women and a young child, all who are family members, dead from gunshot wounds to the head,” Mina said.
Investigators spent hours at the scene Friday, working to piece together what happened and why.
The sheriff calling the crime “horrific.”
“I’m a father, I can’t imagine or fathom such an incident,” Mina said.
He said this tragedy has left a mother without most of her family and two little girls without their sister.
“Although this will be very difficult for our detectives, as they are all mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, they’re going to work very, very hard to find some answers and put the pieces together,” Mina said.
