Elderly man shoots wife, self at Florida assisted living facility, police say
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – An elderly man fatally shot his wife and then himself at an assisted living facility in Florida, police said Tuesday.
Staff at the Addington Place at College Harbor facility found the couple dead in the woman’s room around 10 a.m., the St. Petersburg Police Department said in an email.
The 81-year-old man was visiting his 76-year-old wife when the shooting happened, investigators said. Their identities were not immediately released.
Addington Place is a waterfront building near the Gulf of Mexico that bills itself as a “vibrant senior living community with all the amenities you deserve,” according to its website. It says residents live in apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom units.
The facility’s management company said in a statement that it was working with law enforcement and providing support and trauma counseling resources to residents, patients and staff. The company didn’t release any details about the shooting.

Human remains found in search for missing University of South Florida doctoral student
Human remains have been found in the waterways of Tampa Bay, where authorities have been searching for the body of missing University of Florida doctoral student Nahida Bristy, Florida deputies announced late Sunday as new court documents allege the suspect in the killing of Bristy and another student appeared to ask ChatGPT how to dispose of a body.
The remains were found in Pinellas County and have not yet been identified. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, the remains were found “in the area of Interstate 275 and 4th Street North,” which is at the St. Petersburg side of the Howard Frankland Bridge.
Bristy, 27, who is presumed dead, went missing last week along with 27-year-old Zamil Limon, whose remains were found Friday on a bridge near Tampa. Limon’s roommate, 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh, was arrested Saturday and is charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder with a weapon. He is being held without bond.
Court documents unveiled Sunday reveal Abugharbieh allegedly asked ChatGPT questions about how to dispose of a body in the days leading up to the disappearance of Brsity and Limon.
According to the documents, the suspect asked ChatGPT on April 13 what would happen if someone was “put in a black garbage bag and thrown in dumpster.” The AI chatbot responded that it sounds dangerous, prompting Abugharbieh to allegedly ask, “How would they find out.”
Limon’s body “was located within numerous black utility trash bags in advanced stages of decomposition” on the Howard Frankland Bridge, which spans part of Tampa Bay, according to the court documents. The documents also say prosecutors believe Bristy was “disposed of in a similar way.”
On April 15, the day before the doctoral students went missing, Abugharbie allegedly asked ChatGPT, “Can a VIN number on a car be changed?” and, “Can you keep a gun at home with out a license,” the documents said.
Then, just after midnight on April 17, the documents say Abugharbie asked if cars are “checked at the Hillsborough River state park,” a state park located just to the northeast of Tampa. That same night, the suspect’s phone pinged at the location on the bridge where Limon’s remains were discovered — to the west of Tampa — the court documents allege.
An autopsy by the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office found that Limon’s body had sustained numerous lacerations and stab wounds. The manner of death was ruled a homicide due to “multiple sharp force injuries,” according to the court documents.
Abugharbie also had numerous lacerations on his body, including his left and right legs, the court documents state.
The court documents say detectives used an “enhancement agent” at the apartment Limon and Abugharbie shared and found “significant” blood patterns from the entry foyer, through the kitchen, into the hallway and in the suspect’s bedroom. The blood in the bedroom was found in “two distinct patterns on the floor which appeared to have a relatively human-sized shape,” the court documents state.
Abugharbie is being represented by a public defender. CBS News reached out for comment on Saturday after his arraignment, but has not heard back. He is due back in court on Tuesday.

Punter Tommy Doman Jr. taken by Buffalo Bills in NFL draft’s 7th round
The final former Florida Gator to be selected in the 2026 NFL Draft was punter Tommy Doman Jr., who was selected with the 239th pick in the seventh round by the Buffalo Bills.
Doman only spent a year in Gainesville after transferring for his redshirt senior season from the Michigan Wolverines. The 6-foot-4-inch, 218-pound punter appeared in all 12 games for the Gators last year, serving up 50 kicks for a total of 2,202 yards — good for an average of 44.0 yards per boot. His longest kick reached 71 yards and 17 of them landed inside the 20-yard line.
Doman earned a spot on PFF’s 2025 All-SEC Team and participated in the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl after wrapping things up with the Orange and Blue. The Rochester Hills, Michigan, product finished his collegiate career with a total of 153 punts for 6,677 yards (43.6 yards average), plus a pair of extra points in as many tries during his freshman campaign with the Wolverines.
He was included on the coaches’ All-Big Ten Third Team and was a media All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2024, while also being named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week that same year.
According to his draft combine report, Doman “has good size and quality hang time on his punts, but he doesn’t definitively check boxes with his power or touch to bury opponents deep in their own territory.”
