DELTONA, Fla. (AP) -- A friend checking the home of a Burger King employee who missed Friday's early morning shift discovered six adults slain in a scene investigators called exceptionally violent.

The bodies of four men and two women were discovered about 6:30 a.m. in a single-family home after a Burger King employee asked a friend to check on them, Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said.

"There was an extreme level of violence," Johnson said. Officials said they had identified the victims, but did not immediately release their names.

At the scene, Steve Nathan said his daughter, Michelle Ann Nathan, 19, was one of the victims. She moved into the house about three months ago, and her boyfriend joined her last month. She and the other housemates worked at Burger King, he said.

"She was a fun-loving kid," he told the Orlando Sentinel. "She liked her car; she liked boys. She had just gotten a used Camaro, and she was really excited about her car."

His daughter had been stationed in Missouri with the U.S. Army but was recently released because of a medical condition, he said.

1. Very strange.

This occurred about a mile from my home. I can hear the news copters from my front yard. (I frequently walk to that Burger King and know the owner, who is a very nice guy - he closed down today.)

I'm not sure what to make of this yet. Apparently, the victims knew the perpetrator. But what the motive was, or who was responsible, hasn't even been hinted at yet. It doesn't appear to be random violence, though. This is normally a pretty quiet area, so we're all a bit surprised and very shocked.

2. My Grandmother used to live in Deltona but she died last year

I visited her there a few times and liked the place a lot. I really wonder what has happened to America for things like this to occur.
