A former Florida sheriff’s deputy was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the accidental shooting death of his girlfriend, authorities said.

Leslie Boileau called 911 on Thursday night to report that he had “accidentally shot his girlfriend” at their home in Ocala. The girlfriend was found with a handgun on her lap “and a rifle was also present at the scene,” the Ocala Police Department said in a statement on Facebook.

    First day finding out about America?

    In most of the US, if you want to get a gun, you go to a store, plop your money on the counter, and as long as the guy behind the counter decides that from a hundred feet away through a dirty glass you don’t look like you might shoot up a GOP candidate, you’ll have a new gun.

    If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to wait a few days first.
