Cops: More arrests loom in Fla. couple’s killing

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Investigators were hoping for more arrests Tuesday in the shooting deaths of a Florida Panhandle couple who had adopted a dozen children with autism, Down syndrome and other disabilities.

Authorities made three arrests over the weekend and a fourth Monday evening. Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said he hoped to make one or two arrests Tuesday. Morgan told ABC's "Good Morning America" that authorities have tied at least seven people to the crime but that nothing links any of the suspects to the family directly.
