Bang goes the wedding!!

El Guapo!

Talk about a serious case of cold feet!!!!! :eek::eek:


A man mistook his fiancée for an intruder and shot her dead the day before their wedding.



John Tabutt told police he seized his gun because he thought he heard someone in his Florida home.
Thinking his live-in partner was in bed, the 62-year-old fired at a figure in a dark hallway.
He discovered too late he struck Nancy Dinsmore, also 62, who he was due to marry the very next day.
Tabutt called 911 in the early hours of Friday, moaning and sobbing, according to local newspaper reports.
"I thought I had an intruder in the house," he told the emergency operator. "Honest to God, she looks dead."
A "distraught" Tabutt stood by while his fiancée was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, according to police.
He has not been charged with any offence and officers said everything pointed to a tragic accident.
The couple planned to wed in a small ceremony at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Florida's Winter Springs, Ms Dinsmore's son-in-law Scott Sposato told the Orlando Sentinel.
"They loved each other," he said. "It was quite apparrent"

Fago!

Talk about a Shotgun wedding.

DazMarz

Jesus Christ!!! That is unbelievable! Tragic too... How guilty must he feel?

phasers

I bet he did it on purpose, she probably nagged him so much that he went mad

Aldebaran

Must have been a shotgun wedding.

What can I say... it put a smile on my face anyway.

pikachucheeks

At 62, was she really going to live much longer anyway?

Kidding! That's actually really sad, poor guy!

Jesus Wept

A gun in household is more likely to be used against somebody living there than an intruder - I'm led to believe.

It's more than just her feet that are cold now.

Cowboy culture, I'm all for people owning guns if they choose to, but its this idea that you have one for defence, and that burglars are to be feared and shot. Never mind that shooting at dark silhouettes in your own home is not a good idea.

Stupid bastard.

mike65

At least he can console himself with the thought that she'd almost certainly have filed for divorce and cleaned him out in a few years time.

orourkeda

An extreme case of premature ejaculation (shooting into one's spouse)

orourkeda

Barry White, saved my life and if Barry White, saved your life Or got you back with your ex-wife Sing Barry White, Barry White It's alright

Proof that it is bad luck to see the groom the night before the wedding.

bloody americans and their guns

Praetorian Saighdiuir

So next time some guy in America falls out with his missus, he can shoot her and just say: "honest guv, I thought that she was an intruder?", and thats` Okay?
I`m not say that this is what this daft sod did, but there should be some sort of penalty.

Till death do us part....

(yeah, i realise they weren't married yet, but it's all i can think of ).

I dont know how people can feel sorry for these people. Gun control and gun ownership in America is so fuckin stupid that anythime I hear about stuff like this I can only think Thank God that's one less idiot in this World. If you're stupid enought to go shooting things at night in a dark room then you pay the consequences

Wasn`t it the idiot`s fiance that was killed though?

Yes but the guy will also pay the consequences

I dont know about you, but I prefer the thought of this kind of pump-action between a 62 year old couple.

This doesn't really explain your previous comment though.

pickarooney

Not sure if the guy's a retard for shooting before checking if it might not just simply be the house's other occupant walking about a or a genius for getting away with cold-blooded murder.

Yes, but that doesn't make him any less an idiot. It's incredible that he is facing no charges whatsover. So it's ok to just randomly shoot at a dark silhoutted figure in the middle of the night, without even checking who it is? How is that not manslaughter?

The post I was responding too said that there was one less idiot in the world, to which I replied with words to the effect, no there isn`t because it was the idiots fiance that died, and not the idiot. So I`m not trying to justify this knobber`s actions at all. Like you, I`m pretty disgusted that he is not facing any kind of charges.

Yes, but it was the guy who was the idiot and he's still alive.

Please explain "one less idiot in this world".

I can see this catching on as a cost-effective method of divorce.

One of the biggest problems is the NRA will always be there to oppose stronger measures to making sure gun owners are better informed, better educated and better trained. Im not at all about the abolition of guns though. Its the Right-not-a-Privilege argument.

Talk about your..............
























SHOTGUN WEDD--






--oh.... I see....

Warfi

BANG and the dowry's gone

Mrmoe

Fair play to him, I can only hope that at the age of 62 that I can still unload a full one into my partner.

Mackleton

Honestly this is why private citizens should not own guns!!! I mean think about it,

Man: Ooo there's a dark figure in my hallway, what do I do? Turn on the light?, noooooooo I'll blast the bast*rd in the chest!

I mean the guy faces NO charges for carelessly and prematurely discharging a firearm?! If that was here, it would be SEND HIM DOWN! before you could say the word shotgun! What are they like with their gun control over there!

So far, I'm zero for five on residents (Not all at the same time, I've had various housemates), and zero for zero on intruders.
However, since I've been living with a sidearm, I've never been burgled. Been burgled thrice when I lived in places where it was generally prohibited to shoot burglars. There might be a correlation there.

its this idea that you have one for defence, and that burglars are to be feared and shot.

So they are to be welcomed in and given a nice cup of tea?

The man just shot the woman he was going to marry. Do you really think that a jail sentence will make him feel any worse?
