A man is dead and a woman injured following a defensive shooting this past weekend at Notting Hill Condominiums in Lake Mary, Florida.

According to ClickOrlando.com, deputies responded to the scene shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 5. They found a man with life-threatening gunshot wounds and a woman with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the hand. Both were transported to a hospital, where the man was pronounced dead.

Authorities said the incident began as an argument between the suspected shooter and the man. When the suspected shooter attempted to leave, the man reportedly followed him to his vehicle and attacked him. Fearing for his safety, the suspected shooter retrieved a firearm and opened fire, striking both the man and the woman who tried to intervene inside the vehicle.

Detectives confirmed the individuals involved were known to each other and described the incident as isolated. After consulting with the State Attorney’s Office, the sheriff’s office indicated the shooting appears to have been in self-defense, and no charges have been filed at this time.

  1. For the life of me I don’t understand how people get so wrapped up in their dating partners–especially ex-dating partners–to the point that they attack the ex or the ex attacks the new dating partner.

    If you are a man dating a woman and the woman leaves you for a new man, that woman no longer deserves you and, more importantly, is not worth seriously messing up your life or dying in order to spout-off against the new man. The same thing applies if the genders are reversed.

  2. Or some have such delicate egos that any minutely perceived slight must be dealt with by violence, including lethal assault.

    • “Why are is TTAG repeatedly calling the assault victim who defended himself the suspected shooter?”

      Well, in this case, the attacker didn’t pull the trigger, thus cannot be a/the shooter. The person attacked pulled the trigger, thus shooting the attacker, ergo: the person attacked must be the shooter.

      Seems not prudent to always translate “shooter” as a synonym for “bad guy”/”criminal”.
