MAN SHOOTS 33 BULLETS INTO HOME OF WOMAN HE LOVES

A 69-year-old man was arrested Monday night in The Villages, Florida, after he allegedly fired 33 rounds into the home of a woman who refused his sexual overtures. Deputies said Howard Sparber, who was intoxicated, shot into the residence of a neighbor with whom he had become infatuated. The woman said Sparber had been harassing her since November 2015 with sexual propositions. Sparber, who was arrested without incident, was found with the gun and two empty magazines, one of which has a 15-round capacity and the other with a 20-round capacity, deputies said. The shots he fired went into the storm door and front door and continued through the foyer into the kitchen cabinetry and contents. The home sustained about $3,000 in damages.
* 33 rounds of ammunition. Also known as the Florida Doorbell.
* $3,000? She must have some fancy dishes.
* It was a dumb idea, but he figured he’d give it a shot.
* Alcohol, guns, and unrequited love. It’s an American tradition.
* Said the woman, “You know … I’m startin’ to maybe come around to this guy.”
* Just think of what he’d do if he hated her.
* I guess you need a 20-round capacity if you’re hunting a lot of deer at once.
* He can’t accept that a woman would reject him? It’s sick but you have to admire the confidence.
* There’s another polite phrase for you: sexual overtures. Oh sure, like he played her a concerto when he asked her for sex.
