New Delhi: In a shocking case, a man killed his daughter and 6 grandchildren and called cops before killing himself in Florida.

"I just shot my daughter and shot all my grandkids and I'll be sitting on my step and when you get here I'm going to shoot myself," Don Charles Spirit, 51, said in his call to police, according to the local sheriff's department.

But the reason behind the madness of Spirit was not known, police said on Tuesday.

Spirit had already spent 3 years in prison in 2001 for accidentally gunning down one of his sons during a hunting trip.

Charles Spirit has had lengthy criminal record that included 13 arrests for various offences.

Amongst the 6 grandchildren he shot, the youngest grandchild was just three months old.

Spirit's dead daughter had also been jailed in various drug-related offences and was recently released from prison.

"This tragic and devastating event may never be fully explained. We would continue to ask everyone to keep the victims' family, friends, classmates, and the community of Bell, Florida in their thoughts and prayers."
