2 Critical, 2 Dead After Shooting Rampage

"MIAMI, FL — Depression may have led a Miami father to go on a shooting rampage inside his Shenandoah neighborhood home before turning the gun on himself.

"A senior law enforcement source [said] that the man, identified by the medical examiner as 45-year old Carlos Zuniga, had been depressed and it had worsened over the last few weeks.

"According to the source, Wednesday evening Zuniga shot his wife Michelle first in their home in the 2600 block of SW 26th Street. He then reportedly shot his 14-year old daughter Lauren twice as she tried to run away.

"Zuniga’s son, 11-year old Stefan, ran and locked himself in his bedroom and called 9-1-1. According to the source, Zuniga forced his way into his son’s bedroom and shot him.

"When police arrived the first officers heard shots being fired inside the house. As they surrounded the house the gunfire inside stopped and when the cops went in they found Zuniga dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A Glock handgun lay nearby, according to the source.

"According to the medical examiner, Stefan Zuniga passed away at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center early Thursday morning.

"Zuniga’s wife and daughter remain in critical condition.

"Zuniga, a former airline pilot, ran a business call Miami Air Ballooning Inc. out of the family’s home. He’s also been an aviation safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration since September 2010."
