This is not motorcycle related, but thought I would post it as a friendly reminder that the roads are fully of crazies.
This message was waiting for me when I got home this evening.
SA Don Pettit, was killed this morning in Pembroke Pines , FL. Don, who is a Special Agent with the Customs and Border Protection, was off duty and driving his 12 year old daughter to camp.Preliminary investigation indicates Don became involved in an altercation with another driver. Both cars pulled into a Post Office Parking lot and the other driver pulled a handgun and shot Don in the head. The round entered just above Don's right eye and exited the rear of his head. Don was wearing his CBP badge on his belt and was armed, but is not believed to have drawn his firearm.
Don was pronounced dead about 12:00 noon at Memorial Regional Hospital .
The shooter fled the scene and a massive search is underway. The
shooting is being investigated by the Pembroke Pines , FL Police
Department, the FBI, Customs and Border Protection and FDA Office of Criminal Investigations.
Unfortunately I don't have any additional information about this yet, but I have known Don for a long time. Never knew him to be a hot head or someone that would go out of his way to look for trouble.
Also, lets not turn this into a rant about the right to bear arms.
