https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/argument-over-politics-on-facebook-leads-to-shooting-of-tampa-man-in-buttocks/1352353704TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - An argument on Facebook over politics led to the shooting of a man in Tampa on Monday.
According to police, Alex Stephens, 46, and Brian Sebring, 44, became involved in an argument over politics on the social media platform.
After receiving several explicit messages and threats, Sebring went to Stephens home to confront him.
Sebring, anticipating the confrontation would escalate, brought his Glock semi-automatic pistol.
When he arrived to Stephens home, Sebring honked his horn and waited by his truck for the victim to leave his home.
Stephens left the home and immediately sprinted towards Sebring, who drew his pistol and fired two shots at Stephens, striking him in the right thigh and buttocks.

...after all, when I see a post on fb that I don't like, the first thing I do is grab my gun, jump in the truck, and drive over to have a shootout!
