Florida teen accused of killing mom who told him no smoking inside

A 19-year-old Florida man was arrested and charged with allegedly shooting and killing his mother in their Polk County home this week.

Seth Settle reportedly shot and killed his mother Thursday after she ordered him to stop smoking cigars in his bedroom, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said, according to Fox 13 Tampa Bay.

The incident occurred shortly after Settle’s father left work on what seemed like a normal weekday.

Shortly after 9:30 a.m., though, he had received a call that his wife had been taken to a hospital.

Authorities were first alerted to the incident by Settle’s 24-year-old brother, who found his mother collapsed in their Lake Wales home.

Authorities did not immediately suspect foul play because there reportedly wasn’t any blood found in the home or obvious injuries to the victim’s body.

Just another case of an evil gun, when it wasn't successful killing the son it took out the mother. I see he is using the 'Baldwin defense', He claimed the gun accidentally discharged when he went to lower the weapon. Interesting how in his lowering the weapon he just happened to aim it at his mother's heart.

This one needs to be put down, quickly.

Same as Baldwin. He just happened to be aiming directly at her heart, pulled back the hammer, "and suddenly the gun just discharged?"
yeah sure, that's just what happened ...
