Tragically, with stuff like this assault :nope:

A gunman holding hostages in an apartment block near Miami in Florida killed six people before being shot dead by police, officials say.

Pedro Vargas, 42, who lived in the residential complex with his elderly mother, was described as a body-building loner.

Officers stormed the block of flats in Hialeah, north of Miami, on Saturday morning after an hours-long stand-off.

Two hostages were freed unharmed, police said.

Five of the victims were found inside the complex. Another man was killed while walking across a street outside.
