Armed Florida husband confronts felon who allegedly tried to kidnap his wife, followed her home. It ends badly for crook.
'The south don’t play games.'
A felon who had spent time behind bars for kidnapping and other crimes tried to abduct a Florida woman who was walking her dog in the area of 18th Place East in Bradenton on New Year's Day, WFLA-TV reported, citing the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman managed to run away from the suspect's car and made it to her home — and then warned her husband about what happened, the station said.
'Chalk one up for the good guys!'
Detectives said the husband went outside and confronted the suspect, who behaved “in a threatening manner” toward the couple, WFLA reported.
But when the suspect began approaching, the husband shot the suspect once in the driveway, the station said.
The sheriff’s office told WFLA the entire incident occurred in a matter of minutes.
Deputies responded to the shooting at 12:27 a.m., and the suspect — 36-year-old Nicholas Palomo — died at the scene despite efforts to save him, the station said.
