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.

> With the gun in hand. That’s the part she ‘ll have to explain.

She had an order of restraint on him for years, and the cops were called in the past. She has every reason to have a piece near the bed for protection.

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


Middle age and very guilty:

Yeah, I kinda thought it looked about like a 3,000-word term paper.

Are we sure that's the same Jill Fritch from Florida? I gotta ask...

So many women make very poor choices when it comes to romance.

Poorly written story. Handgun or Long gun Caliber. Number of shots fired. Revolver/Autoloader/Pump/Lever/Single Shot From whence was it grabbed?

And the tomahawk? Was it an "assault-style" tomahawk?

Regards,

And, I suppose, the most important question these days - did the shootee have Native American/First Nations blood, or was he engaging in Cultural Appropriation? Because if he was engaged in Cultural Appropriation, he clearly deserved to be shot by someone more Woke.

Another misleading title from terrible journalists.

How hard would it be to change the title from a lie

“she shot someone who threatened her”

to a title that is actually accurate

“she shot someone who she claims threatened her”
