A man accused of shooting dead five women at a Florida bank has long been fascinated with death and guns, a woman identifying herself as his former girlfriend has said. Zephen Xaver “for some reason always hated people and wanted everybody to die,” Alex Gerlach told WSBT-TV.

On Wednesday, Mr Xaver called police from the SunTrust bank in the town of Sebring to report the shooting. The 21-year-old surrendered after police stormed the bank, officials say. Police chief Karl Hoglund said at a news conference yesterday authorities have no information about Mr Xaver’s true motive at this time.
