| Standard AR-15 Assault Rifle, Common Household Gun |
Officials are investigating a weekend incident during which a man indicated his wife fired an AR-15 rifle at a target inside a master bedroom closet, missing the target and blasting holes in a washing machine. When deputies on Sunday entered the home in the 5700 block of Spanish River Road, they found "a lot of water on the floor covering most of the residence," according to recently released St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office records. They had a "good evening," but started arguing on Sunday about reconciling. She said she told her husband she didn't want to get back together because she has a new boyfriend. She said her husband "went crazy" and started shooting indoors. She said he was firing close to her and thought he was trying to scare her. She said blood on her legs came from "the bullets hitting the washing machine and the metal shards hitting her." The woman, however, said she also was shooting with her husband. Asked to write a sworn statement, she said, "I'll try my best but I'm drunk." "Both parties were advised to stay away from each other," the report states. It wasn't immediately clear what the husband was grilling.
You have to wonder why these two crazy kids can't just work this out. I mean they obviously share common interests, such as setting up targets in the master bedroom closet and firing military grade machine guns into it, and grilling food, and I'm sure there are others. I mean if that's not love, then what else is it? And as the song says, "all you need is love."
So what if hubby missed and the errant bullet sprayed a little shrapnel from the washing machine into your leg. Stitches can fix that. But there aren't any stitches that I know of that will fill the hole in your heart after your one shot at true love walks out that door in handcuffs for felony firing an assault rifle inside a domicile after you've reported him. That tends to be a deal breaker.
