[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing three adults and a three-month-old baby in their home as Bryan Riley, 33, of Brandon, Florida
- Riley is a former Marine sharp-shooter who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, officials said
- His girlfriend of four years reportedly told authorities he thought he could talk to God, and had been given a vision that a girl was going to commit suicide
- Riley allegedly visited the house of the shooting nine hours before and told a man that his daughter, who he called Amber, was going to commit suicide
- The man, named by a sheriff as Justice Gleason, 40, told Riley that he did not have a daughter named Amber, and asked him to leave
- The next morning a lieutenant responding to another call nearby heard a volley of gunfire coming from the area of the house
- They found a man wearing full body armor who did not appear to have a firearm rushing back into the home, before more gunfire was heard
- The suspect later came out with his hands raised and was taken into custody
- Officials later found an 11-year-old girl shot multiple times who told them that three other people were dead inside the house
- A man, woman and a baby in the woman's arms were all found shot to death
- The baby's grandmother was also found fatally shot in the house behind them
- The 11-year-old girl is now recovering at Tampa General
- Another 10-year-old related to the family was not home at the time of the killings
