Authorities: Man turns himself in after killing 3

Authorities in north Florida say a man killed three people in his home, then drove to a sheriff's station with the 5-year-old daughter of one of the victims to turn himself in.

Alan Lucas Strattan is charged with first-degree murder in the Thursday deaths of 25-year-old Nichole Cervantez, 27-year-old Monica Hudson and 32-year-old Michael Kevin Tucker. Authorities say Cervantez was pregnant and that Hudson was Strattan's sometimes girlfriend.

Columbia County Sheriff's Sgt. Ed Seifert says Strattan confessed but didn't provide a motive.

Seifert says the victims were shot to death. Seifert said early Friday he didn't yet know who Strattan's attorney was.

Authorities say the surviving child is now staying with her grandmother.
