Heard about this on another radio show. I don't live in Florida, so I'm not familiar with the Shannon Burke show, but from what I've found online, he has a "Zoo Team" type show, but he's also known for his right-wing rants.
Anyone from Florida familiar with this guy? I looked and didn't see this diaried, but let me know.
Full story after the jump.
The description of the event is a bit strange.
Shannon Burke, got angry at his dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, got a handgun and threatened to shoot it last week, deputies said.
The gun discharged, and the bullet went through the dogs leg and his wife, Catherine, on the side of her head, according to a report.
So, either his wife was lying on the ground by the dog's leg, or he picked up the dog and shot at it. I suppose it's possible for a bullet to ricochet around, but seems a bit far fetched.
Also, if you listen to the 911 call, you can heer Burke already in defense mode telling his wife not to call anyone and refusing to give his name at the end.
Looking for Florida feedback. Does this story have any bigger potential to cause grief for conservatives?
