‘Brutal’ attack on pregnant woman at Publix ends when witness pulls gun, Florida cops say

Tanasia Kenney
A bystander drew his gun on a man accused of beating and stomping on his pregnant girlfriend outside a Publix super market, ending the “brutal” attack, Florida deputies say.

The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, in the parking lot of the Largo grocery store, according to an arrest affidavit.

The woman told Pinellas County deputies that her boyfriend, Cole Danisment, 27, got angry and punched her in the face repeatedly. She fell to the ground, and Danisment is then accused of stomping on her head and upper body.

The woman told deputies that Danisment knew she was 14 weeks pregnant with his unborn child.

A man who witnessed the attack said he feared for the woman’s life, prompting him to intervene. Danisment didn’t stop brutalizing the woman until the witness pulled a gun on him, according to the affidavit.

Good guy with a gun trumps court paper. Go figure.

Defiant victim gets shot, then grabs gun and shoots fleeing robber, Florida cops say

Mark Price
Not even getting shot could keep one stubborn man from turning the tables on two luckless robbers outside a Florida mall, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

The pushback started when the victim refused to surrender his gold jewelry and ended with him putting one of the robbers in a hospital, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

It happened at 2:15 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24, outside Westfield Brandon Mall in Brandon, 12 miles east of Tampa.

Deputies responded to a call about shots fired and found a man with a gunshot wound to the leg.

“The victim (had) parked his vehicle outside the Dillard’s, and went into the Westfield Brandon Mall to visit a jewelry store. After leaving the mall and on his way to his car, two suspects approached the victim and pointed a gun at him,” the sheriff’s office reported.

“While one suspect held the gun, the second attempted to take a gold chain valued at tens of thousands of dollars off the victim. There was an altercation, and the victim was able to hold on to his chain.”

The robbers gave up and “took off running.” However, one turned and fired a parting shot at the victim, hitting him in the leg, officials said.

“The victim was able to retrieve a firearm from his vehicle, and shot at the fleeing suspects,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Later in the afternoon, a male was dropped off at the Advent Health … in Tampa with a gunshot wound to the stomach. That man is believed to be one of the suspects.

Payback is one thing. A firearms violation from a bad shoot is another thing altogether. Thanks again for the links, Gun Bunny.
