A 19-year-old Florida Man–written like it’s a specific branch of paleolithic hominin–who was a brand-spankin’ new handgun owner decided to get into a fight at his local bowling alley so he had an excuse to brandish the weapon is now under arrest for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after he shot a 17-year-old, WEAR ABC-3 in Pensacola reports.
Nicolas Vallia, a 19-year-old from Cantonment, last week started an argument with a group bowling in the lane next to his. The disagreement spilled outside later in the night, when the victim declined to play in a “roll dice” game with Vallia and his friends. The victim got into his car with his friends and drove away, followed by Vallia, who grabbed his gun and firing two shots into the victim’s car, hitting the victim in the stomach. With the driver shot, his friends navigated the car to a shopping center parking lot and called 9-1-1.
Vallia’s girlfriend said he had just bought the gun six months ago and felt he needed more “protection.” His friends said he was looking for an opportunity to flash the gun to “look hard in front of his girlfriend.” There were no drag shows involved in the corruption and injuries of these children.
