GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WGFL) — A Florida man is in jail for shooting his brother in the head, according to police.

On Saturday, the victim told his brother and another roommate that he no longer wished to live, police say. The man asked his brother, Robert Brown, 34, of Gainesville, to shoot him.

Just before 7 p.m., Brown took out a gun, pulled the trigger and shot his brother in the head, police say. The man was rushed to the hospital with a life-threatening wound to his head.

The victim later died from his injuries.

Brown admitted to firing the gun, but says he was only trying to scare his brother, police say. However, he saw his brother's head go back when he fired the shot.

Brown is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He remains in jail on a $750,000 bond.

All in approximately 8-1/2 seconds...

That would seem like a lifetime (or at least the end of one)

Who writes this stuff? I bet there was a loud noise accompanying it, too.

And a wall full of blood splatter behind him on the wall before the head even started falling back

“Yeah maybe there’s something to the story that we’re missing :)”

The writer could have elaborated on the now deceased brothers health prior to the cranial lead injection.
Good health with normal issues?
Chronic pain from long term health problems?
Pain from treatment of health issues?
Mental health problems?
Depression? Because this guy could be the first victim of the first victim of the looming Biden/Leatherback administration.

“Florida really does have some crazy white boys :)”

You guys in the north have plenty of crazy white guys! They have names like Salvatore, Giovanni, Vincent, Antonio, Angelo, Rocco....you know the list.

“It might be that the FL man is actually guilty of interfering with medical or judicial “commerce.””

Practicing medicine without a license would be the charge in that case.

Hey, once the left started becoming apologists for Dr Kavorkian, it’s open season, and no bag limit.

You’re taking my satirical nonsense far too seriously. And missing the point while you’re at it.
