Angry, stupid and a really bad shot. Courtesy of the Orlando Sentinel.
Orlando radio personality Edward Shannon Burke of Real Radio 104.1 is behind bars this morning, accused of firing a shot inside his Altamonte Springs area home that injured a family dog and then grazed his wife in the head.
Burke, 43, faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and animal cruelty. He is being held without bail in the Seminole County Jail.
He told deputies he became angry with the pet late Thursday and was waving a firearm that he thought was not loaded, Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Cannaday said.
“I need an ambulance right way,” Burke said in a recording of his 911 call, released today. “I was playing with a gun I didn’t know was loaded. It went off and I’ve hit my wife.”
The bullet passed through the dog’s leg and then grazed his 48-year-old wife Catherine, she said.
Catherine Burke was taken to Orlando Regional Hospital. The dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was taken to an emergency vet clinic…
