Three best friends killed after being beaten and shot while out fishing in
Florida may have been the victims of a targeted attack, police say.
Damion Tillman, 23; Keven Springfield, 30; and Brandon Rollins, 27, all died in the Friday night massacre. They were found by the father of one of the men who managed to call for help just before he died.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said: 'You don’t just stumble upon somebody out here.' He described the crime scene as 'the worst I have ever seen'.
The three men were fishing at a popular lake in Frostproof, 70 miles south of Orlando in central Florida.

Tillman traveled to Lake Streety first and arrived by himself, according to sheriff Judd.
When Rollins and Springfield arrived soon after, Tillman was being beaten by unknown attackers, and the two friends intervened to help Tillman and were shot.
Rollins called his father at about 10pm Friday and managed to only say 'help.'
The father jumped into his car and went to where his son had said he was going fishing.
