Pensacola Police Department officials have provided more information regarding a shooting Friday morning.
According to police, the shot was fired in self-defense.
Detectives are working to determine how the shooting began and whether or not charges will be filed.
Police said he was ejected from one portion of the club and then pushed past employees to enter a restricted area. The security guard, described as a man in his early 60s, “engaged in a physical altercation” with him, according to TPD.
The man repeatedly struck the security guard, who then fatally shot him. No arrests have been reported in connection to the shooting.
The Overnighter
- 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey
- .75 oz 22.5 ml Campari
- 1 oz Dry Vermouth
- .25 oz Bénédictine
- Orange wheel for garnish
Combine the liquid ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain over a large ice cube into a rocks glass and garnish with the orange wheel. Some recipes call for a smoked orange wheel, which would undoubtedly add another layer of complexity.
I built my shop during the winter of 2017-18. Before I even poured the slab, I found two air conditioners on sale at Lowe's. Big, 18,000 BTU units that I stored until construction began. When the contractor asked me about cooling, I took out those two AC units and told him to frame around them. He did and that set the physical size of the cooling for the sop. Luckily, the units I bought originally were fairly large.
Last year, one of those units died a gurgling death. I shopped around and found a unit that I could stab into the same hole. Very convenient. We were able to slide the old one out, do a little measuring and decided that the new unit, case and all, would fit in the available hole. Slid that sumbitch in and plugged it to the outlet.
Yesterday, the second original AC unit died. Something came loose and we thought it was going to jump out the wall. We have shut it down. In just a few minutes I am headed to the lumber yard and find another AC unit. The interweb shows that they have the same unit I bought last year, which I know will fit The challenge is that I mounted those units high, 6.5 feet off the ground. I'm going to need a couple of stout fellows to help me lift that thing into the hole.

A beloved California art gallery manager who was writing an illustrated children's book has been stabbed to death in broad daylight.
Rachell Summers, 73, was stabbed 11 times outside Capitola Mall in Santa Cruz County on Monday in what investigators have called a random act of violence.
Tyler Leibelt, 19, has been charged with murder while lying in wait and using a deadly weapon, court records show. He has not entered a plea. ...
Leibelt ran up to Summers outside the mall and stabbed her from behind, the court document said.
Summers was 'stabbed multiple times in her back, defensive stab wounds to her forearms, and stab wounds to her center chest, more than 11 total,' prosecutors alleged in the filing.
The 19-year-old ran into the mall, leaving a trail of the grandmother's blood behind him. Prosecutors say he also discarded a knife....
Leibelt told police that 'he purchased two knives so that he could hold one in each hand as he was killing someone,' the court filing says.
He gestured stabbing with both of his hands during the interview with investigators.
Investigators have found nothing to suggest that Leibelt knew Summers before he targeted her in the deadly attack. It is also unclear why he chose her as his victim.
Leibelt told police that he had been suffering from 'homicidal fantasies for awhile' and claimed he had 'previously disclosed these fantasies but he 'kept getting let out' of custody,' according to the filing.
Prosecutors noted that a gun violence restraining order was issued against the alleged killer in November last year.
He allegedly told sheriff's deputies during that incident that he 'expressed a desire to cause a mass casualty event,' the court document said.
He also allegedly 'wrote a goodbye letter expressing a desire to kill as many people as possible.' [emphasis added]
Gun violence restraining orders make us so safe--from gun violence. Those other methods for murdering people are so much nicer.
Released from custody. Police should have requested an involuntary commitment order until California Welfare and Institutions Code sec. 5250.
Same Platform. Same Powder. Same Barrel Length. No Excuses. If you’ve spent any time on firearm forums or social media, you’ve seen the debate. Which is the better medium-range cartridge: the legendary 7.62×39 Russian or the modern .300 Blackout? For this test, I wanted to remove as many variables as possible and let the data […]

Just to review.
Today's lesson will focus on the second rule and the problem I have with appendix carry. A holstered firearm in the front of your strong side leg is commonly referred to a "appendix carry". I have always thought it broke the four rules. The muzzle of your firearm, depending on if you are seated, crouched, or standing, will variously be pointed at things you do not want to destroy.
When another rule is broken, as in the case documented by the shooter below, that bullet is going to find your tender flesh in life altering ways.
Appendix carry. Just say no.

BERLIN (AP) — A van ramming and stabbing near Berlin’s Pride festival that left one person dead and many others injured is believed to have been an Islamic extremist terror attack, Germany’s interior minister said Sunday.
The suspect in Saturday night’s attack remains at large. Authorities issued a wanted notice and warned people against approaching Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, saying that he may be armed and dangerous.
Authorities said he is believed to have injured several people with a van in a park near the Pride festival’s closing party. Several people were also apparently stabbed.
One I find annoying. The other is a public safety problem. I do hope Queers for Palestine sees this in their newsfeed.
Following an initial investigation, the Foley Police Department has confirmed the incident on Ghost Horse Drive stemmed from a domestic dispute between family members. During the disturbance, 35-year-old Aaron Steed was fatally shot by his 60-year-old father. At this time, we believe the father was acting in defense of himself and other family members present.
I mentioned a few weeks back that the seats in my CT5 were too painful for my wife to sit in for even short periods. (Her 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited is only slightly longer until pain becomes unbearable.) The rather stiff bolsters cause her great pain. After many experiments ordering and returning cushions to Amazon, we found one that she can comfortably both ride and drive with.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once (2022). The girlfriend who dragged me off to watch 200 Motels whispered in my confused ear part-way through, "It makes more sense if you take acid first." No, thank you. This movie might be similarly enhanced by LSD. Or perhaps permanent insanity lies that way. It was visually stunning. There is a almost incomprehensible plot involving travel between different universes. Amazing kung fu sequences, too. You will never watch Ratatouille (2007) the same way again.
A movie that I just watched and very much enjoyed was The Sheep Detectives (2026). If you liked Babe (1995), and Chicken Run (2000), you will like this. Not giving away much: shepherd reads murder mysteries to his flock in the evenings. After his murder, his flock uses what they have learned to find the killer.
Lord, I hate it when my blog turns into an obituary column.Two good friends are no longer with us. It was just belatedly announced that Tom Marx had passed away this past February. Tom was one of the true “industry insiders.” He began as a Chicago cop and then focused on the gun world, working […]
While driving toward the district, police believed that the man intentionally rammed the women’s car.
The women were able to enter the parking lot; however, the man’s car hit theirs again.
Police said the two women got out of the car with the child and tried to enter the police station when the man got out of his car and approached the women.
During the ensuing encounter, shots were fired, and the man was shot multiple times, according to the police release.
One of the women entered the district building and notified officers.
Officers then came out to investigate the incident, detaining the woman and rendering aid to the man.
A 70-year-old man was also taken into custody and officers recovered a firearm from the man's right front pants pocket.
Police say the shooting stemmed from a physical altercation inside the home.
Officials believe this may have been self-defense.
Any kid in my neighborhood when I was in elementary school would have cheerfully murdered people in their beds to get their hands on this USS Enterprise bridge playset.
