LAKELAND - A man shot in the head during a bakery robbery last week has died, police say.
Michael Messer, 67, was in grave condition after the shooting that occurred at the Wonder Hostess bakery outlet on North Florida Avenue last Wednesday.
According to officers, Messer and his girlfriend robbed the store and then Messer tried to break into a Corvette in the parking lot. The car alarm went off, and the vehicle's owner, who worked at the store, came outside with a gun.
Toney Anthony Price tussled with Messer, trying to hold him until police arrived, but investigators say the gun went off and struck Messer in the head.
Messer died Sunday at Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
Police have not filed any charges in the case.

I guess the slogan “helps build strong bodies twelve ways” doesn’t really apply here..........

It is a shame it takes until the third sentence to figure out that it was the robber who died from a gunshot to the head.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. The Corvette owner shouldn’t have bothered with the ‘tussle’

Michael Messer and his girlfriend, Jean Valjean Paging Victor Hugo! Monsieur Hugo! One of your characters has escaped, had a sex change, and has gotten herself in trouble!
A Misérable situation.

...the gun went off and struck Messer in the head.2 things:
1) The gun struck him and not the bullet?
2) When some needs to be killed and you take the opportunity to fulfill this need, you should always tell the story like this, "He struggled with me and the gun went off."
