Authorities: Father of slain girl commits suicide
LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say the father of a 13-year-old girl who was fatally shot on a school bus in South Florida last month is dead in an apparent suicide.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said 34-year-old Armando Alexander Guzman was found dead in a car near Fort Lauderdale Thursday morning from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A witness called 911 after noticing a bullet hole in the car's window and a person inside.
Guzman's daughter, 13-year-old Lourdes Guzman-DeJesus, was shot in neck on the way to school in Homestead on Nov. 20.
Authorities say a 15-year-old student pulled a gun from his backpack and fired it. Eight other children, including Guzman's 7-year-old sister, were not harmed. The student is charged with manslaughter and carrying a concealed weapon.

The world needs to be fixed. I just wonder how long it will be until it is fixed.Â
I can't believe the little bastard is not up for murder; now he has two deaths on his hands. I can't even imagine the suffering he has caused for mom and sister. Man, I hope he ends up in g.p. when he gets to real prison and some of the guys that miss their own kids get hold of him.Â
I might do the same if someone killed my kid. But before I did that....

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. You have nothing to lose at that point, so why not eviscerate the clown responsible for killing your kid, and maybe hang his carcass in front of his school? Might make other kids who like to play with guns reconsider before doing something like this..
Since we are so busy blaming the gun, lets take the time to share the blame. Maybe the killer should have been "armed" with his REAL biological mother and father living together at home with him and he might not have done it.
If the 13 year old was armed with a concealed weapon this tragedy would have been averted.
That poor family! Â Hopefully the mother is strong enough for herself and the seven year old and they receive the help and support they definitely need right now.
so sorry for the 7 year old sister who survived this. her sister is murdered and now her father is dead. poor kid.
He should have shot the punk that killed his daughter. Â At least then he would have died doing something positive.
he still had a 7 year old? why did he leave her? now her dad and sister were both killed by a gun, in one year
@djshimon Actually the sister was killed by a fellow student and the dad was killed by his own hand.
 @Jared  @djshimon Yes, the 13 year old was shot and killed by the 15 year old student; the father shot and killed himself.  That left the 7 year old without a sister or a father.
Who's running out to buy more guns?!?!!
There must be nothing like the grief of a parent over a dead child. I cant imagine how the people in Newtown are dealing with it.
What a shame!
