Christmas Eve Shooting Under Investigation In Pace
December 24, 2012
A Christmas Eve shooting is under investigation in Pace.
About 6:30 Monday morning, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to the shooting in the 4800 block of Pembrook Place. An adult male victim told deputies that he heard noises outside near his vehicle and went to investigate.
He encountered a male suspect wearing all black trying to burglarize his vehicle and a physical confrontation followed. A second suspect wearing all black joined the altercation.
One of the suspects pulled a gun, shooting in the victim in the left and his finger before both suspects fled. The victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone with information concerning the identity of the suspects is asked to contact the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 983-1190, or call Santa Rosa County Crime Stoppers at (850) 437-STOP.

The bad guys will always get a gun if they want one. Gun control needs to begin on the streets not at the counter. Just like the recent school shooting he stole those guns from his mother. Get illegal guns off the streets. Are you folks aware that convicted felons can buy a hunting licensce but are not supposed to own guns. I understand that there is bow season but I would bet that if they really checked they would find that most convicted felons that have a hunting license own a gun. I would say that most of us that go to the counter and get a permit to have a legal weapon never plan on shooting anyone. I bet the gun was illegal and I would be surprised if they ever catch the bad guys. Not enough time. This guy was really lucky it was just his finger.
Let me get this right…A man went outside to defend his property without a gun and the bad guys shoot him! I’m looking in my crystal ball and I see a lot more of this happening in the future.
