A Florida dad shot his daughter’s abusive ex-boyfriend dead after the man allegedly assaulted her in her apartment – then came back for more, according to police.
Gainesville police officers responded to a domestic dispute at the Polos Apartments complex on Saturday and determined the unidentified ex-boyfriend had been inside the woman’s apartment and “physically assaulted her,” a police statement said. The woman’s father also came to the apartment in the aftermath, police said.
About 30 minutes after police took a report for the alleged domestic dispute, the ex came back and “made entry,” according to police.
This time, however, her father shot the suspect once in the chest with a handgun, according to police.
The suspect fled and responding officers found him mortally wounded near his car. He was declared dead by EMS despite CPR efforts, authorities said. . . .
