Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting and robbery attempt at a home in Seffner.

According to authorities, the shooting happened after an early-morning confrontation over an ATV at a home at 1602 Taylor Road.

Officials said the homeowner, a 35-year-old man, awoke to his dogs barking at 4 a.m.

When he went outside of the home to investigate, he was confronted by two suspects who ordered him to the ground. The suspects grabbed an ATV that was parked outside the residence and began rolling it to their vehicle parked nearby.

THIS one is a little too close to home - currently in progress, and local.

As per MSM SOP, no mention of the ethnicity involved, especially by the local ABC-Disney affiliate.

Hmm, hearing dogs bark at 4 am, then going out to investigate, unarmed?

Why would anyone go outside to investigate something at 4 am without first arming up? I’m not going to say he deserved to get shot, but he sure put himself in an awkward position.

You need to change your tag line.
“Progressives spent that time trying to destroy it.”

You need to erase “trying”. They have destroyed our nation.

And Thank You for your service.

“Seffner man shot after ATV robbery attempt”

ATTEMPT??????

If they are going to characterize the successful theft as an attempt, where is the freaking “alleged” in front of “ATV”? and the “allegedly” before “shot”?

And oh yeah! The alleged Seffner man was allegedly shot DURING the alleged ATV robbery “attempt”, not after.

Sheesh! Must I do ALL of their work?

My thoughts too. I arm myself for all occasions except where it is not permitted by law.

My dogs are inside to sleep, so if they start barking I'm well armed within 5 seconds. The illegals are swarming day and night even in small-town very suburban CT.

My 85 lb. Pitador sleeps on the bed with me, while my 110 lb. Great Dane sleeps on “his” couch in the living room. Together, the give me a bit of an early warning system.

You ain't from around here, are you?

ATV thefts are generally committed by either white trash or illegal alien perps.

MLK Blvd criminals don't generally heist ATVs in Seffner, Fl.

But is is summer, and lots of yankee grandchildren are visiting...
