Man Shot As Girlfriend Cleaned His Gun
2011-12-18
A Davie man was hospitalized on Sunday for injuries after a gun his girlfriend was cleaning went off and hit him in the abdomen, police said.

Kristi Ellis, 40, told police that at 4 a.m. she's couldn't sleep and to make her boyfriend, 40-year-old Michael Allih, feel better she decided to clean his .38 revolver, said Sgt. Christopher Chastain, Davie Police spokesman. The gun went off twice and one bullet hit him in the abdomen.

He was rushed to Memorial East from his home at SW 63 Ave. Police said the wound doesn't appear to be life threatening.

Authorities said no charges have been filed.
"In the really low part of the abdomen, in the middle."

#12  It's Florida. Depending on the injured man's reputation with the local police, they may not have been able to stop laughing long enough to investigate yet...

How so, M. Murcek?

#11  This story is completely impossible. She should be put up on charges of assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder. The wheels of justice grind slowly, so we will probably never know the outcome, but she is a big nugget of evil that will eventually be ground fine.

Were I the police, I would:

1) Do a sobriety check,
2) Have her show me how to "clean" a revolver.

#6  Er... double mis-fire from a REVOLVER?!

I hope she's up on charges as soon as someone sane shows up at the prosecutor's office.

#5  So was she "cleaning" his "gun"? And it "went off" twice? And he needed "hospitalization"???

#1  No no no, hon. You heard a noise and thought somebody was trying to "break in". Or you thought he was "a deer". And aim higher...
