DAVENPORT, Fla. (AP) — Authorities said Sunday a third victim has died following a violent attack where an angry electrician wielding a knife & baseball bat killed 3 co-workers & injured another at the Florida home they shared.
Polk County Sheriff’s officials said electrician Shaun Runyon got into the argument with his supervisor Friday, punching the man & fleeing the job site. He returned to the Davenport home he where he was temporarily living with his co-workers Saturday & beat 1 man to death while he slept, killed another man on the front porch & chased another victim into the street, beating him badly with a bat.
A 4th victim suffered critical injuries & later died at the hospital. Another man, his wife and their 7-year-old daughter escaped unharmed.
Runyon & 7 co-workers & their families were living at the home rented by J & B Electric, Inc.
It’s unclear what prompted the fight between 39-year-old Runyon & his supervisor Friday, but Sheriff Grady Judd said he confessed.
He was charged with 3 counts of first degree murder & 1 count of aggravated battery.
Runyon fled the home, turning up hours later at the home of a random Lake Wales couple, wearing bloody clothes & telling them he’d been raped.
Judd said the man discarded his bloody clothes at the home as they urged him to go to the hospital where he was later taken into custody.
Runyon is also charged in Northampton County in eastern Pennsylvania with a felony count of strangulation -- applying pressure to the throat -- on May 21 along with misdemeanor counts of child endangerment, terroristic threat, reckless endangerment & other charges. He was scheduled for formal arraignment & a pretrial conference Oct. 14.
