Lake Mary, FL: Man kills himself after ex-wife, new husband

A central Florida man fatally shot his ex-wife and her new husband and then killed himself.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office reports that 59-year-old John Marshall went to his ex-wife's home Thursday morning and began shooting at the house. Authorities say 59-year-old Orval D. Burkhart ran out of the house and made it a few hundred feet before Marshall chased him down with a scooter and shot him.

At the same time, Marshall's ex-wife, 54-year-old Dale Leigh Marshall-Burkhart, was driving back to the house and saw the shooting. Marshall shot her, and her sport utility vehicle drifted into a tree. Marshall then shot himself.

Deputies aren't sure what provoked the attack.

Marshall and Marshall-Burkhart, who had five children, divorced seven years ago.
