Thanks for posting this emysbreeder I hadn’t heard the news. As crazy as it seems that is what happened.

I know Tom and Patty very well they are only a few minutes away from me.



I just got off the phone with patty and so there is no misunderstanding here is what she said.

Bruce, Tom’s business partner was on antidepressants, he stopped taking them and over time become more and more unstable.

On Thursday Tom and Bruce got into stupid argument. Bruce pulled a gun on Tom and held it to his chest. Patty tried to stop the argument and while she was yelling at Bruce he became distracted for a second and this allowed Tom to force the gun from his chest and a shot was fired and hit the floor in-between Toms feet.



Tom and patty ran for safety as Bruce sprayed bullets at them as they tried to get away. Patty returned fire hitting Bruce in the leg,

That stopped the attack as Bruce locked himself in his bedroom, the police were called and shortly there after a swat team arrived and there was a gun battle between the police and Bruce.



The House/Office are shot up, the doors and windows are gone. Tom was nicked in the arm by a bullet from Bruce.

As the police were moving in Bruce shot him self in the chest and died.



It’s a tragic event in Toms and Patty’s life but they are ok.

Their Business isn’t going anywhere. Tom and Patty will be there to help and support all their customers.



Tom and Patty are good people they tried to calm Bruce down to the last minute, even after he had shot at them but Bruce just snapped.



Sometimes bad things happen to good people.



I am hoping all the stupid rumors don’t start flying or some ass writes another book with lies in it about Tom and Patty.
