Florida Lawyer is Shot At His Office; Ex-Client Arrested
A Florida ice cream truck driver suffering financial woes and frustrated that his wife wanted to move back to New Jersey shot and killed her and his son and badly wounded an attorney before police ended a three-hour standoff Wednesday afternoon when they shot him, reports The Miami Herald.
Real estate lawyer Larry Harshman, 54, was shot five times at his Kendall law office earlier in the day. Harshman, who had drawn up paperwork for a home Jabado was forced to sell short three years ago, underwent surgery and was recovering in a hospital, police said.
WSVN 7 News talked to Harshman’s wife: “Now I find out that he came last week to tell Larry that he was getting divorced, that his wife wanted to leave him. And he was gonna take the kid. And Larry said, ‘Well, there’s nothing I can do for you because I’m not a divorce attorney.’” The suspect, Fadel Jabado, allegedly returned to Harshman’s office later and shot him in the stomach.
