A father shot his young children in the head multiple times after their mother kissed them goodnight, according to Florida police.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) said in a Tuesday news conference that the two children, a girl aged 5 and an 8-year-old boy were shot inside their Tampa home.
Chronister said the children's mother kissed them goodnight as they lay in their bunk bed at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday.
Afterward, she left the children with the father and went to the bathroom where she heard several gunshots.
Chronister told reporters the mother at first thought the gunshots were coming from just outside the home, but later thought they were closer and ran out, finding a neighbor who had already called 911.
He added: "As that phone call's occurring, the husband, the children's father, walks outside carrying the 8-year-old son saying 'call for help, call for help.'"
Police said Jermaine Lavanda Bass, 30, has been arrested in connection with the shootings. He is facing charges of first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder and aggravated child abuse.
