A shooting at a Florida auto shop that killed two men was triggered by a former customer's dissatisfaction with work done on his car two years ago, police said Thursday.
The Largo Police Department said Eugene Frank Becker, 78, arrived at Stout's Automotive in a rental car Wednesday and sought out business owner Jodie Stout, 52. Investigators say Becker pulled out a handgun and shot Stout, who returned fire with his own gun, striking Becker multiple times.Police said in an email that evidence and witnesses indicate Becker felt he was overcharged when he brought a vehicle to Stout's for service in 2021.
Authorities said Becker had recently been in a car crash that left him depressed, according to family members.
