Man shooting at Amazon Alexa sparks 'gun battle' with police: 'He was shooting at everybody'
By JULIA JACOBO Jun 9, 2019, 3:07 PM ET
An altercation at the home of a Florida couple involving the man shooting at the woman's smart device resulted in a "gun battle" with authorities that left him and two deputies injured.
Pasco County emergency dispatchers received a call around 12:30 a.m. Saturday from a 10-year-old girl saying that her parents had gotten into a physical fight, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco told reporters in a news conference.
The girl told dispatchers that her family fights often, and it's not unusual for her parents to get into physical altercations, but they typically don't call 911, Nocco said.
Authorities learned that the mother was particularly upset Saturday night because the suspect, 62-year-old Terrance J. Peterson Jr., had shot at her Amazon Alexa device, Nocco said.
