A former Florida sheriff’s deputy was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the accidental shooting death of his girlfriend, authorities said.
Leslie Boileau called 911 on Thursday night to report that he had “accidentally shot his girlfriend” at their home in Ocala. The girlfriend was found with a handgun on her lap “and a rifle was also present at the scene,” the Ocala Police Department said in a statement on Facebook.

If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to wait a few days first.
Probably because Jimbo and Cleetus would be too stupid to pass the test and disallowed their pewpews, and unfortunately these are very reliable voters, despite them not being able to spell republican or their own names, so a particular party keeps the status quo to remain in power.
