A mother is dead and three others — including the woman's two children and her father — are in critical condition after a Monday morning shooting in Sanford, police say. “There is no way for us to predict what is going to take place,” Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith said. “When you lose control, who [knows] what he is capable of?” 
 
 Latina Herring and Cashe began arguing about the keys about 3:20 a.m. at a Wawa gas station, and the fight continued at Herring’s home but never got physical, police said. A caller whom Herring identified as her ex-boyfriend called 911 to report that Herring had been battered and Cashe had a gun, according to an arrest report. As a convicted felon, Cashe cannot legally possess a gun, but officers had no cause to arrest him because they couldn’t know whether the weapon really belonged to him, the Sanford police chief said. She told officers at the scene that it contained more of the man's belongings, but Cashe refused to take the bag and left the scene. After he left, police found a loaded Glock .22-caliber handgun, two loaded magazines for the Glock, five empty boxes of .40-caliber ammunition, a loaded rifle magazine and a loaded drum magazine, the report states. A male victim, identified as 60-year-old Bertis Gerard Herring Jr., was outside of the home yelling for help. Officers then found two of the woman’s sons, ages 7 and 8, inside the home also suffering from apparently gunshot wounds. Police said that as Cashe, 31, ran through the neighborhood, he shot two others: Winter Springs High School student Rakeya Jackson, 18, who was waiting for her bus, and Lazaro Paredesquelite, 43, who was near a baseball field. An AK-47 rifle was found on Cashe when he was taken into custody, police said. "They ain't got their mother, but they have their granddaddy and daddy and God on their side," he said, tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke outside Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, where his grandsons were in critical condition. Their grandfather, Bertis Gerard Herring Jr., was transported to Central Florida Regional Hospital, where he remained in critical condition as of 4 p.m. Monday. Paredesquelite and Jackson were both taken to Central Florida Regional Hospital and are in stable condition. Dominique Smith, 17, was waiting for a school bus near Hartwell Avenue with three classmates when she noticed Cashe, dressed in all black, and realized he had a gun. “I don't even feel safe right now.”

 Cashe was arrested within 10 minutes, after a Sanford police officer spotted him and followed him to Seminole Garden Apartments.
– A man has been arrested in a series of shootings in Sanford, Fla., that police say killed his girlfriend and injured her two young sons, her father, and two other people Monday, the Orlando Sentinel reports. A few hours before the 6am shooting, the suspect and his girlfriend were fighting at a gas station; she said he wouldn't return the keys to her home, while he said she had the keys to his vehicle. A police officer separated them; shortly after that, someone called police to report that the fight was continuing on the front lawn of a nearby home. An officer went to the house to talk to the couple, during which time someone else called police to report that the suspect, 31-year-old Allen Dion Cashe, had a gun. Since the officer couldn't find a gun, Cashe was allowed to leave, and the woman gave the officer a bag of Cashe's belongings—including a gun. Hours after that officer left, a shooting was reported at the house. Police say the shootings inside the home left the woman, 35-year-old Latina Herring, dead, her father in critical condition, and her two boys, ages 7 and 8, hospitalized in critical and extremely critical condition. One of the boys is "fighting for his life," per a police spokesperson. After the shootings, Cashe allegedly ran off and opened fire at bystanders near a school bus stop; a man and a high school student were injured, but are in stable condition. A police officer who heard the second set of shootings followed Cashe and took him into custody at a nearby apartment complex; a gun was found in his vehicle. A neighbor says the woman who was killed got "messed up with the wrong people" when she recently got involved with Cashe, who has a criminal record. Cashe faces multiple charges including first-degree homicide, News 13 reports.
