Bullet Fired Into Window Of Florida GOP Rep’s Home And He Hopes County Republican Group Isn’t Behind It

Florida Politics reports:

Someone shot a bullet into the front window of a children’s room at Republican state Rep. Spencer Roach’s home Thursday morning, leaving the North Fort Myers lawmaker “shaken up.” No one was harmed in the incident. The shooting at Roach’s home comes two days after the Lee County Republican Executive Committee was to consider a resolution condemning the Legislature for not going far enough with a newly effective law allowing citizens in the state to carry a concealed, legally purchased firearm without a permit or training.

The group, with which Roach has openly been at odds, contends that permitless, unconcealed carry is truly reflective of the Second Amendment’s intent. “Amongst the delegation, I’ve been the most vocal critic of this new regime, what I would call a hostile takeover of the Lee County Republican Party, so there’s no love lost there,” he said.

“But I don’t (think they’re behind the shooting). I hope not. It’s Florida politics, so nothing would surprise me.” In an evening statement released on Twitter, the Lee County GOP “vehemently condemned the brutal and unnecessary attack” on Roach.

Multiple Florida law enforcement agencies are investigating.

Roach first appeared on JMG in March 2022 when he led the move to strip “woke” Disney of its special zoning status over the company’s opposition to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.

In April 2023 he introduced a bill that would force Florida universities to host far-right extremists.
