In Bell, Florida, Don Spirit killed his daughter and six grandchildren

According to Gilchrist County Sheriff Robert Schultz, the gunman, 51-year-old Don Spirit, took his own life when police officers arrived at the property near Bell, outside Gainesville.

According to Schultz, authorities discovered the seven victims “all over the property,” according to Schultz. A 10-week-old baby was among them.

According to Florida correctional records, Spirit has an extensive criminal history dating back 22 years.

According to reports from 2003, he pleaded guilty to one felony, possessing a firearm by a convicted felon, after accidentally shooting and killing his 8-year-old son while out hunting. He was given a three-year prison sentence.

Between 1992 and 1995, Spirit was also found guilty of depriving a kid of food and shelter, violence, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to Schultz, officers have previously “gone out to that property on multiple law enforcement occasions,” according to Schultz.

Sarah Lorraine Spirit, 28, and her daughters Alanna Stewart, 22 months, Brandon Stewart, 4, Destiny Stewart, 5, and Kylie Kuhlmann, 9, as well as her sons Johnathon Kuhlmann, 8, and Kaleb Kuhlmann, 11, were among the victims.”

This is something you can’t put into words. “At a press conference, Schultz stated. “I’ll keep asking everyone to pray for the families.”

A $750K settlement has been struck in a mass homicide in North Florida with an Osceola connection

The Florida Department of Children and Families and two private companies have agreed to pay $750,000 to resolve legal claims stemming from a mass shooting in North Florida’s Gilchrist County last year.

Spirit fatally shot his 8-year-old son Kyle in an Osceola County hunting accident roughly 13 years before the shooting spree. He was imprisoned for three years.

DCF will pay $450,000, while the Partnership for Strong Families and Devereux, two organizations that assist the state with child welfare issues, will pay $250,000 and $50,000, respectively, under the settlement terms.

According to the agency, from February 2006 until September 18, 2014, the day of the killings, the family was involved in 18 child-protective investigations.

Don Spirit was suspected of being the culprit in three investigations, including a 2008 event in which he was detained for physically beating his then-pregnant daughter.

Following the murders, questions were raised about whether the department and private providers could protect the children.

DCF and the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office had visited the family’s house as recently as September 2, 2014, according to a Critical Incident Rapid Response Team report.

Still, the children were not “in imminent danger of illness or damage from abuse, neglect, or abandonment,” according to the report.

DCF Secretary Mike Carroll retrained personnel in the department’s adjacent Chiefland office and ordered a review of all open investigations in Gilchrist and Dixie’s counties involving children three years old and younger.

He also directed that 1,600 child protective investigators and supervisors be trained nationwide.

The “Rapid Safety Feedback” system, which allows quality-assurance specialists to monitor a child-protection inquiry in real-time, expanded.

Carroll noted at the time, “I’ve been with the department for 25 years.” “And I thought I’d seen everything until this tragedy.”

According to the Florida Department of Corrections, he served three years in jail on a gun charge after accidentally shooting and killing his son Kyle on a hunting trip in Osceola County.
