MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) — A South Florida family is speaking out after their loved one was shot during an altercation over the recovery of a stolen gaming system.
According to the daughter of 55-year-old Orlando Cuperes, her son’s PlayStation had been stolen, along with a gun, by a neighbor. When her son and her father went to confront the suspect, an altercation took place. Sugely Cuperes, the victim’s daughter said, “He came over here and tried to knock on the door, so they come out, and they come out shooting, and they shoot my dad.”
An amazing amount of fail in this case. You are going to confront a criminal knowing there is already a gun in the mix instead of calling the cops? This was nothing more than an overdose of ego that almost became deadly.
Go stupid places, play stupid games with stupid people, win stupid prizes.
Yeaaaaaaaaaah… right action in this case would definitely have been “file a police report,” not “risk a B&E charge.”
I’m going to take a stab in the dark, but what are the chances the stolen firearm was one legally owned? That would explain why they decided to confront the thieves thenselves…
