Lake Worth -- Three men were shot dead and at least four others wounded Tuesday evening after an argument in the backyard of a home.

One survivor was flown to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach and the three others were flown to Delray Medical Center, where police stood guard at the entrance to the emergency room. Three survivors were in critical condition.

Authorities said they knew the men's names but declined to identify them. They were looking for three men, armed with an assault-style rifle and wearing ski masks, who were driving a black Dodge Stratus.

Police put down bright yellow evidence markers in front of the darkened home in the 1400 block of South B Street, while a group of young men stood by or sat on cars parked at the home next door.

Detectives had not identified a motive for the killings and wouldn't say whether gangs, gambling or drugs played a role.

That's because they don't have to. Any idiot knows that is at least one of those is involved - and probably all three.

I just bought a house in west Lake Worth (much different type of neighborhood, about 10 miles west) and it seems that incidents like these are are happening more and more in the corridor between I-95 and Dixie Highway, it's awful. This comes on top of my co-workers being involved with the bank robbery/ 'hostage situation' down in Miami.

I think I'm going to move to Wyoming, or something.

You already know. It's the typical, *He wouldn't hurt a fly* scenario, when the guy is a sadistic, animal torturing, thug.

If they say any of the following about him, that...
...he was working to get his GED..
..had been looking for a job..
..had been getting together with his children from his first marage...
...loved his two pit bulls..

then he's guilty.

My son saw all the police activity going home from school and thought there was a bad auto accident.

My cousin lives in there, and my great-aunt lives on Tropical right behind it. It's sad what that neighborhood has turned into.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (Sept. 20) - Authorities said a naked 91-year-old man was able to hold a drunken intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Robert E. Thompson jumped out of bed early Saturday when his dog starting growling and attacking the intruder. He said he got his revolver and went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders.
Thompson, a World War II veteran, said he didn’t even notice he was standing outside in the dark without any clothes on.
Authorities arrived to find a drunk intruder being held outside by a naked homeowner.
The 26-year-old intruder was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge.
