Title: Man loads gun, a bullet for each family member, but wife was ready
Post by: Hazcat on April 15, 2009, 09:08:26 AM

A Winter Haven man was at home early Tuesday when he began loading a handgun, "stating which member of his family each bullet was intended for,'' police told The Ledger.

Then he raised the gun and pointed it at his wife.

But Dawn Christoff was ready, having armed herself with a 9 mm handgun. She fired several shots at her husband, Troy Christoff, 34.

He survived and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police concluded the shooting was in self-defense, so Mrs. Christoff, 35, won't be charged.

FMD,    how sad is that  when a wife  needs to Carry to protect her self from her Husband.



I believe  from what I know over here and in the USA   most of these issues come down to how the governments deal with Mental Health issues and how much they focus on it.  IE,   don't  just sweep it under the carpet.
