Cop shoots cop in deadly domestic dispute

Neighbors said the two Naples police officers who lived together in the Lakes of Estero development seemed like a nice couple. They were always working around their house and were the friendly sort, often waving back when others hailed them.

The two officers, Amy E. Young, 40, and Luis Monroig, 37, were shot this morning in what the Lee County Sheriff's Office is calling a domestic dispute.

Monroig later died from his injuries and Young was being treated at an area hospital, a LCSO spokesman said.

"This is a tragic day for all law enforcement," said Lt. Jeff Dektas, with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, at a news conference at the scene across from Estero High School.

1. My cousin was a cop, as were his third and fifth wives.

Fortunately, nobody got shot.

5. Fifth wife?! Is he still married?

I know the divorce rate for cops is over 80%.

[Scuba]

12. Right now he's between marriages. At least that's my guess.

15. That should have been a warning flag to her.

I wouldn't date a girl with that many failed marriages. My ex had five failed too, she was a disaster.

2. Young was a better shot?

Or perhaps more committed.

4. DAMMIT!

BEAT ME TO IT!

[A HERETIC I AM]

3. Obviously officer Young was a better shot.

Ok...tragic, yes. What I wrote above is called "Gallows Humor" before anyone alerts, for fucks sake.

7. ROFL

This place is a riot.

6. Reads Like Any Dateline Episode

where domestic murder is the story.

Another light goes out in America.

8. At least she will know how to write the report juuuuust right.

Dead men tell no tales.

[Warpy]

9. Probably. I know I'd deny shooting first in this case.

She'll probably still get manslaughter charges. Women who are better shots and kill the guy who is trying to kill them are still regarded as too dangerous to let out on the street in this country. Remember the gal who just fired a warning shot and got, what, 20 years.

10. I was hoping I remember that be readdressed, though I have not heard an outcome. Nt

[Warpy]

11. I'm afraid the wheels of justice will grind very slowly in her case.

She has frightened a man.

[CBGLuthier]

13. So which one was the "proverbial" "good guy with the gun?"

[Katashi_itto]

14. Don't think I am sympathetic. Trained supposedly "professionals"... nope not sympathetic.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

16. Stand Your Grounds for divorce.

[dembotoz]

17. presence of guns in a household produces an opportuinity for gun violence.

that damn simple

[PeaceNikki]

18. It's true. Domestic violence is tragic and no laughing matter. Despite the professions of those

involved.

I can't join in the schadenfreude some are enjoying in this story.

[Savannahmann]

19. But even then, Police would have guns

And in this case, it would be deadly for one of the spouses.
