Showing Original Post only (View all)Florida man shoots and kills couple over laundry room door left open. [View all]
https://www.rawstory.com/florida-man-laundry-dispute/Well I guess he showed them.
Henry Wallace was shot and killed over the weekend after an elderly neighbor was enraged over Wallace leaving the door open to the shared laundry room. While standing at his mailbox, Hugh Hootman demanded Wallace apologize, said WPBF News.
According to what Hootman told the police, it was only when Wallace tried to push past Hootman that he said, "I lost my temper," pulled out a gun, and shot him several times.
Hootman's wife, Susan, was recorded in her 911 call, saying, "My husband just shot our neighbors and I think he killed them."
"The neighbor downstairs just the other day shouted at me and swore at me regarding the washer and dryer," Hootman explained.
When Wallace's wife, Ginger, ran outside she began yelling. Hootman responded by shooting her twice, killing her as well. Mrs. Wallace was the HOA president of the condo building and had just decorated for Christmas, excited over spending time with her family.

The time to think is before purchasing weapons, not after using them. . . nt

After the first shot, it's easy to do it again and again and time again, until the bullets are spent

Would be fitting if he was assigned to work in the prison laundry room, for decades. . . . nt
