一名男子涉嫌杀害两人，其中一人是他以前的恋人，然后在数百英里外的另一个家庭枪杀了另外四人，这是一起连环杀人案，佛罗里达州当局说。
劳德代尔堡和萨拉索塔县的执法部门周三都认定51岁的拉塞尔·科特是杀人案的嫌疑人。当局称，在他所谓的疯狂杀人后，他于周二死于明显的自残。
当局说，萨拉索塔县的代表最初于周二中午对一个封闭社区的住宅枪击事件作出回应。
据萨拉索塔县治安官办公室称，四人被杀，包括一名在接近前门时被枪击的男子。当局说，两名妇女和另一名男子被发现死在位于Amberlea社区的家中。
萨拉索塔县治安官办公室称，犯罪嫌疑人科特也被发现死在家中。视频显示，他的车在周二上午11点左右进入该社区。警长办公室说，不久之后，邻居的环形摄像机捕捉到了枪声。
警长办公室表示，大约37分钟后，有人看到在住所外被枪击的男子开车进入该社区。报道称，响应的警察发现邻居在前院给他表演心肺复苏术。
警方称，周二下午晚些时候，在佛罗里达州东海岸200多英里外，警方在劳德代尔堡维多利亚公园区的一处住宅进行健康检查时，发现住宅内有两人死亡。
虽然萨拉索塔县当局正在努力确定他们案件中的受害者和嫌疑人，但警长部门表示，劳德代尔堡警方联系了他们，告知他们认为双重杀人案和萨拉索塔县枪击案可能有关联。
当局说，在劳德代尔堡凶杀案之后，嫌疑人的车辆在萨拉索塔附近行驶时被摄像头捕捉到，然后在安伯利亚发生了四起凶杀案。
根据萨拉索塔县警长办公室的说法，科特住在劳德代尔堡，并与劳德代尔堡的一名受害者有“以前的浪漫关系”。官员们表示，这名受害者与萨拉索塔县的受害者有关，但他们没有详细说明。
警方周三确认劳德代尔堡的受害者是46岁的拉里莎·布柳达亚和18岁的本·阿齐沃夫。
萨拉索塔县的受害者周三被警长办公室确认为49岁的奥尔加·格雷纳特;弗洛里塔·斯托尔亚尔，66岁;阿纳托利·约菲，61岁;39岁的雅罗斯拉夫·布里多伊。
凶杀案仍在调查中。
警长办公室周三表示，萨拉索塔县事件的动机目前尚不清楚。
萨拉索塔县治安官办公室表示:“根据我们的初步调查，嫌疑人似乎死于自残，没有已知的记录在案的精神健康危机，也没有与他相关的暴力历史。”
Man suspected of killing 6 people at 2 residences in Florida: Authorities
A man is suspected of killing two people, including a person he was in a prior relationship with,and then gunning down four more at another home hundreds of miles away in connected homicides, authorities in Florida said.
Law enforcement in Fort Lauderdale and Sarasota County on Wednesday both identified 51-year-old Russell Kot as a suspect in the homicides. He died of apparent self-inflicted wounds on Tuesday following his alleged killing spree, authorities said.
Deputies in Sarasota County initially responded midday Tuesday to a shooting at a residence in a gated community, authorities said.
Four people were killed -- including a man who was shot while approaching the front door, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. Two women and another man were found dead inside the home, located in the Amberlea neighborhood, authorities said.
The suspect, Kot, was also found dead in the home, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said. Video showed his vehicle entering the neighborhood at around 11 a.m. Tuesday, it said. Shortly after, a neighbor's Ring camera captured the sound of gunfire, the sheriff's office said.
The man who was shot outside the residence was seen entering the neighborhood in his vehicle about 37 minutes later, the sheriff's office said. Responding deputies found neighbors performing CPR on him in the front yard, it said.
Later Tuesday afternoon, over 200 miles away on Florida's east coast, police conducting a well-being check at a residence in the Victoria Park section of Fort Lauderdale found two people dead inside a residence, police said.
While authorities in Sarasota County were working to identify the victims and suspect in their case, the sheriff's department said Fort Lauderdale police contacted them to advise that they believed the double homicide and Sarasota County shooting might be related.
Following the Fort Lauderdale homicide, the suspect's vehicle was captured on camera traveling near Sarasota, before the quadruple homicide in Amberlea, authorities said.
Kot lived in Fort Lauderdale and had a "previous romantic relationship" with one of the Fort Lauderdale victims, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. That victim was connected to the Sarasota County victims, officials said, though they did not elaborate.
Police on Wednesday identified the victims in Fort Lauderdale as Larisa Blyudaya, 46, and Ben Azivov, 18.
The victims in Sarasota County were identified by the sheriff's office on Wednesday as Olga Greinert, 49; Florita Stolyar, 66; Anatoly Ioffe, 61; and Yaroslav Blyudoy, 39.
The homicides remain under investigation.
A motive in the Sarasota County incident is unknown at this time, the sheriff's office said Wednesday.
"Based on our preliminary investigation, it appears that the suspect died of self-inflicted wounds, and there are no known documented mental health crises nor history of violence associated with him," the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said.
