Father charged with triple murder, kidnapping daughter in Tamarac

In a tragic incident in Tamarac, Florida, Nathan Gingles, 43, is charged with the murders of his estranged wife Mary Gingles, her father David Ponzer, and neighbor Andrew Ferrin, all occurring in front of his 4-year-old daughter. The violence erupted early on a Sunday morning, with Gingles reportedly ambushing Ponzer and subsequently killing Mary and Ferrin when she sought help. Authorities responded to gunfire reports and found the victims in two adjacent homes, leading to a swift Amber Alert for the missing child, who was later located with Gingles in a Walmart parking lot. Gingles faces multiple charges, including three counts of first-degree murder, and has a background of domestic violence, which Mary Gingles had previously reported. Family members of the victims have expressed their grief and highlighted the need for more serious attention to domestic violence issues. Gingles' actions have raised questions about the effectiveness of protective measures in such cases.
