FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WTXL) — A combat sharpshooter accused of fatally shooting a mother, her 3-month-old baby and two others in a random attack in Florida was ordered jailed without bond Monday during his first court appearance.
Authorities say 33-year-old Bryan Riley surrendered early Sunday after a furious shootout.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says Riley stopped by a family's home in Lakeland Saturday evening saying he was on a mission from God.
Forty-year-old Justice Gleason told him to leave, but he returned hours later and invaded the home, killing Gleason and three others.
An 11-year-old girl was shot seven times and survived. She was in critical but stable condition on Monday.
Riley will be getting a private attorney, but in the meanwhile, he has requested a public defender. The defendant is said to be a Marine who was honorably discharged and now works as security for ESS Global Corporation.
He faces the following charges:
*Four counts of first-degree murder
*Seven counts of attempted murder of law enforcement officer
*Two counts of Shooting into Building (He received $5,000 bond for each for these two charges)
*Two counts of armed burglary with assault/battery
*Second-degree arson
*Attempted murder in the first-degree with weapon
