DAYTONA BEACH — A Florida woman told authorities that she fatally shot her boyfriend in self-defense on Christmas Eve when he raised a tomahawk over her as she was lying in bed.

Jill Fritch told deputies that she grabbed a gun and shot Troy Sorrell late Thursday out of fear that he was going to attack her with the tomahawk with a 2-foot handle.

Two foot handle? Almost an axe.

“Fritch previously had an injunction against Sorrell from 2015 until January 2020”

Looks like he hadn’t changed much. Alcohol/drugs involved?

I imagine the detectives will have a few questions for her. Everything at the scene better add up exactly.

There's ample official prior evidence indicating he was trouble.

My question is what the heck is she doing in bed with him around? Stupid girl loves her some bad boy.

What's the ATF say about 2 foot handles on a tomahawk?

At least some things about young women haven't changed.

Never bring a knife tomahawk to a gun fight.

My question is, knowing what the immediate emotional and physical effects on a person can be after having had to use lethal force to defend ones self and to take a life, how is this young woman holding up with all of that? No mention.

Poorly written story.

Handgun or Long gun

Caliber.

Number of shots fired.

Revolver/Autoloader/Pump/Lever/Single Shot

From whence was it grabbed?

I hate when a Braves fan is doing a tomohawk cheer and gets shot.

He didn’t bring either.

She set his ass up and put that tomahawk somewhere near him after she plugged him.
