A Florida man told a 911 dispatcher that he just murdered his six grandchildren and would wait on his porch until deputies arrived before shooting himself.  "Yes, ma'am. I just shot my daughter and shot all my grandkids,” Donald Spirit said in the 911 call. “And I'll be sitting on my steps and when you get here I'm going to shoot myself.”  A recording of the harrowing phone call was released Tuesday.  Spirit, 51, placed the call Thursday from his home in the rural town of Bell just after killing his 28-year-old daughter and her six children.  The dispatcher can be heard asking Spirit what kind of gun he had but he said it did not matter.  "When you get here, I'll shoot myself and then you can figure out what kind of gun it is," he said, sounding agitated.  He used a .45-caliber handgun. Authorities are investigating how he acquired it because, as a felon, he was prohibited from owning firearms.  Sarah Spirit's father allegedly killed her and her six children.  "You got all the kids are dead in the house,” he said. “Six kids, one adult. ... One of them is a baby."  Then he restated his plan to turn the gun on himself when authorities arrived at his mobile home.  And that’s just what happened.  The Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office said there their deputies had a brief exchange with Spirit before he took his own life.  Inside the home, authorities found the bodies of all Spirit’s victims – just as he said.  The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the sheriff’s office say they released the audio because they are in the final stages of their investigation.  This was not Spirit’s first run-in with the law. He spent several years in prison after fatally shooting his young son on a hunting trip, in what was determined to be an accident at the time.  Just two weeks before the murders, a tipster called a child abuse hotline to warn that adults were doing drugs in front of children, according to Florida's Department of Children and Families.  Now residents of Bell, a town of about 500 roughly 43 miles west of Gainsville, are wondering why authorities did not rescue the children from their dangerous grandfather.  The children were identified as Kaleb Kuhlmann, 11; Kylie Kuhlmann, 9; Johnathon Kuhlmann, 8; Destiny Stewart, 5; Brandon Stewart, 4; and Alanna Stewart, who was only a few months old.
