A grazed gunman stalked from apartment to apartment, systematically killing his neighbors at a South Florida apartment complex before a police SWAT team shot him dead early Saturday.
Police described how Pedro Vargas methodically executed the managers of his building and a family that lived nearby - before firing randomly into the street and killing a man who was parking his car.
Police say he kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54; his wife Merly Niebles, 51; and their 17-year-old daughter Priscilla Perez.
