SRSO: Shooting That Claimed One Life Near Allentown May Have Been Self Defense
August 25, 2018
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office says a deadly shooting near Allentown Saturday morning may have been self defense.
Deputies responded about 7:20 a.m. to the 5500 block of Memory Lane, about 1.5 miles from Central High School off Highway 89.
Investigators determined that there was a domestic altercation between two adult family members. They said the altercation was physical and escalated to the point a firearm was used.
“Evidence is leading us to believe the person who fired the weapon was being attacked at the time of shooting,” said Sgt. Rich Aloy, spokesperson for the SRSO.
Jeffrey Troy Pernicka, 32, was shot and killed. Another adult male was transported to an area hospital with severe injuries.
The case remains under investigation.
