FLORIDA –57 year-old Dennis Eugene Emery was pronounced dead at a local hospital.<\/a><\/p>\n “He was involved in a domestic disturbance with his wife,” Sgt. Adam Geissenberger of the Pinellas Park Police Dept. told Fox 13. “During that disturbance he retrieves a firearm, he produces the firearm, and he threatens to shoot one of the family’s animals<\/a>.”<\/p>\n The man’s wife had 13 dogs and their barking was frequently an argument.<\/p>\n While allegedly threatening to shoot the dog, Emery pulled the hammer back on his revolver. When trying to release the hammer, however, the gun went off<\/a>, according to the St. Petersburg Tribune.<\/p>\n The Tampa Bay Times said Emery had convictions for drunken driving in 1977, carrying a concealed weapon in 1978, disorderly conduct and public intoxication in 1983. The paper said he had 34 contacts with Pinellas Park police since 2012.<\/p>\n
