[Regnum] A farmers' discussion about chickens and eggs escalated into a shooting in the US state of Florida. Three people have been arrested, WPTV reported.
According to police, on the night of November 4, 44-year-old Peter Riera was drinking at a local pub with three acquaintances, including 24-year-old Brandon Pace and 26-year-old Kayla Damiani. Riera was outraged by his friends' behavior, and he threatened them with a Glock 30 pistol and shot them four times in the parking lot.
"There was a conversation about how many—I'm not kidding you—how many eggs a chicken can lay. And that conversation got a little heated, and when they got out into the parking lot, the argument continued, and the shooter started getting nervous and paranoid," said Sergeant Dominic Mesiti.
All parties involved in the conflict were intoxicated. The farmer's acquaintances managed to flee, and no one was injured in the gunfire. However, Pace and Damiani resisted the arriving police: the young man kicked two officers, and the woman tried to prevent his arrest.
Following his arrest, Riera was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and shooting in a public place. He and Pace, who was charged with battery on police officers, were held in the county jail without bail. Damiani was released on $500 bail.
