Winter Springs Police Chief Kevin Brunelle says the shooting appears to be a "tragic accident," but investigators were waiting for forensic results. Sixty-two-year-old John Tabutt (ta-bit) told investigators he thought he heard an intruder early Friday morning, got his gun and fired at a figure in the dark hallway. He struck his live-in fiancee, 62-year-old Nancy Dinsmore. Family members say the couple planned to get married Saturday in a small ceremony. Tabutt said he thought she was next to him in bed the whole night. He has not been charged. Winter Springs is about 15 miles northeast of Orlando. |
