He was shot while standing in line at Publix. But how? Here's how Pasco deputies figured it out.

Dr. Timothy Balling, a 53-year-old emergency room physician, walked into the store, learned what happened and starting treating the wounded man.

Where was the wife? The store video showed Lillian Messier picking something off the floor, putting it in her cart, and leaving the store for about two minutes, deputies say.

She later told deputes that she ran out to the car with their groceries because the couples’ cell phones were there. But no one answered when she called 911, so she ran back into the store and saw her husband being treated.

But there was no gun visible in the video. It showed nothing of “significance,” a deputy wrote.

Sounds like a 5-minute mystery... it's pretty obvious that it was Dr. Balling who shot the husband. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #3

The gun had no trigger guard and was buried loose, unholstered, under several items, a deputy noted in the report.


Someone should lose at least their concealed carry permit, if not their right to carry guns at all...

Seriously, as long as yahoos like this can carry in public, we're all at risk.

of standing in the check out line at the supermarket when one shot the other - TOO FUNNY And I'm supposed to RESPECT these idiots.

Florida has 1,971,997 currently valid concealed weapon permits as of March 31. 1,971,997 people with inferiority complex syndrome driven to overcompensate by putting everyone around them in danger. 1,971,997 people I do not trust behind the wheel of 2 ton automobile. 1,971,997 people I would not trust my dog with while on vacation.
FUNNY comment by the homeowner: “Accidents seem to be happening,” DUH. 3 "Accidents" in 3 days. TOO FUNNY.

In addition to this example, in the last three weeks:
