A man suspected of killing his girlfriend and her three children in Lake Wales, Florida, was killed in a shootout with police in Sanford. The suspect, Al Joseph Stenson, fled to a motel after the shooting and made statements that he would kill himself or force law enforcement to kill him. Negotiators were successful in getting Stenson's brother to come out of the hotel, but Stenson refused to surrender. After he stepped away from his gun, Stenson was shot with a foam projectile, but it had little effect on him. He immediately went for the gun on the ground, prompting members of SWAT and the Sanford police department to open fire.
