A Florida man who was shot by his stepson last month in self-defense was himself arrested this week for battery after leaving the hospital, according to multiple reports.
On June 26, William Zimmerman, 53, was blasted by his stepson in the middle of a violent attack on his mother, Local 10 reported.
Authorities told the outlet that the unidentified 25-year-old stepson fired the shot while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.
The shooter tended to his stepfather while waiting for medics and told investigators that Zimmerman routinely hit his mother and made threats toward both of them.
“He also stated his mother is a regular victim of domestic violence and that his stepfather routinely threatens to kill him, her and law enforcement,” said Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. “He added his stepfather is known to possess firearms.”
Deputies interviewed the mother, who showed signs of abuse and said Zimmerman attacked her repeatedly.
Zimmerman was then treated at a local hospital and told personnel that he planned to kill the stepson for the shooting, which Zimmerman claimed to authorities came without any warning, according to the Miami Herald.

Florida family.
No evidence that older Florida man is even married to Florida Woman. Why isn’t it on her that she keeps him around, making the son defend her?
Good for the son. Too bad the mother was so weak she brought the shooting on her son. But, she was and that’s exactly what the POS boyfriend took advantage of.

“Why isn’t it on her that she keeps him around...”
I ask myself that same question when I read about conservatives being abused by RINOs within the Republican party.
He was arrested. Okay. Then what? Was he released with No Bail so he could return to that same home with the same abused woman still living there? Hope not. The cycle will only continue. That’s a powder keg of a home environment. Multiple short fuses just waiting to be re-lit.
The kid needs more range time.
touche
People who repeatedly re-elect Amnesty Senators are much like
battered spouses.
Stepson needs more range time.
This guy has threatened to kill him before.
The kid needs more range time!
It’s a (Florida) family affair,
it’s a family affair
One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you’d just love to burn

If she lets the turd back maybe a chance to finish the job
Maybe it’s his home.
I’ve seen these shit situations before.
She’s probably from somewhere in Yankeeville,
No real friends or family to turn to.
No personal assets,not even a car.

Stuck loser son with no gumption to take his own mother on his shoulders and move!
