A U.S. Coast Guard serviceman killed his wife, one of his children, and then turned the gun on himself, according to reports. His 8-year-old daughter is fighting for her life in a hospital after she was shot, reports say.

John Stanley Presnar, an electronics technician First Class who worked from the Coast Guard base in Miami Beach, was identified as the shooter, reported the Miami Herald. He served since 2001, Coast Guard spokesman Ryan Kelley said.
