There were a bunch of weird stories like this, actually... it's funny, though, that there were a string of very violent shit like this in Florida all in the span of one week. There were even hazmat teams locking down schools and highways due to what people described as a "strange rash"... in my highly delusional mind, I'm thinking the military let loose some kind of accidental zombie virus they created and they successfully managed to crack down on the outbreak in Florida... so far! /cheezy_horror_music
It's more likely that it's all coincidence, though!
