HERNANDO COUNTY, FLA. — A reported shooting in Spring Hill late Monday night ended up being an argument between two males over a woman.
But nobody was shot.
The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office received the call just before midnight that someone had been shot at the Jigger Bar, 7394 St. Andrews Blvd.
The incident had occurred between two males and a female. When deputies arrived, the reported victim had fled.
But the victim soon posted on social media that he had been shot. HCSO deployed a helicopter and a K-9 unit to find the victim.
When they found him, the deputies learned he had not actually been shot. And he did not want to press any charges, officials said. Deputies learned that the two males and the woman were leaving the bar and had an argument over who was going to sit in the front seat with the woman.
An argument ensued and a shot was fired, but missed the victim, officials said.
HCSO said it would contact the State Attorney’s Office to see if any charges would be filed.
Due to Marsy’s Law, HCSO said it would not be releasing the names of those involved.
