Add The New York Post on Google MIAMI — The Florida woman who shot and killed an Army vet in a spat over a parking spot at a Walmart will not face charges because of the state’s “stand your ground” laws, prosecutors revealed Thursday.
Bart Diguglielmo, a 62-year-old retired staff sergeant, was fatally shot in front of the supercenter in North Lauderdale just before 12:30 p.m. on June 30.
The shooter, identified as Melissa Payne, is immune from prosecution because she acted in self-defense due to the state’s “stand your ground” law, the Broward County state attorney’s office announced Wednesday.
She was briefly detained following the shooting and released after saying she was defending herself.
