At 11:25 a.m. on March 25, in the town of South Charleston, Ohio, USA, 81-year-old William Brock shot and killed an innocent woman.
(Bullock confronting the deceased)
After the case, Bullock regretted it.
In his own eyes, he really wasn't a ruthless murderer, he was just a scared victim......
(Bullock)
Bullock told the police what had happened.
He said that in recent weeks, scammers have been making scam calls to ask him for money, and after the fraud failed, these scammers began to make harassing calls again, and even threatened to hurt him if they didn't give him money.
Early in the morning of the shooting, someone called Bullock again, lied to him that he had a relative in prison and needed him to pay for it, and said that he would send someone to his house to get the money in a while, and asked Bullock to prepare the cash quickly.
Bullock couldn't take it anymore, he decided to fight back, and he took advantage of this meeting with the fraudster, and he had to solve all the problems.
But what he didn't know was that the person he was about to meet was not a member of the fraud gang, and she was also innocent......
The woman, Lo-Letha Hall, was an Uber driver, unaware that she was hired by a group of scammers, who treated it as a normal job and picked up the goods (money) without thinking about anything.
The rest of the story was almost entirely filmed by the camera in Hall's car.
(Live footage)
When Hall shows up at Bullock's door, Bullock pulls out a gun in a panic and rage, and then he takes Hall's phone and doesn't let her leave the scene.
Bullock shoots Hale and asks her who exactly she works for, and after getting no answer, he shoots her again. The two men scuffled together, and Bullock fired a third shot......
At this time, Hall's injuries were already very serious,
She was shot in the upper left side of her torso, in the center of her sternum, and on the inside of her left knee.
She tried to drag her injured body back into the car, but then her screams of pain could be heard off-screen, and Bullock yelled for to shoot her in the other leg......
(Live footage)
In the end, Bullock, who only suffered minor head and ear injuries, called the police, and Hall was taken to a local hospital, but died while undergoing surgery......
Bullock said he didn't want to shoot either, but as soon as Hall arrived at his house, she said she was going to take his money, and she banged his head on the car door after the two got into a fight.
When she turned around and walked into the car, he didn't know if she was trying to escape, and thought that Hall was going back to the car to fight back with a gun, and he was afraid that he would be killed by her, so he made a ruthless ......
The police listened to Bullock's reasoning, but eventually arrested him and charged him with murder, because Bullock never called the police for such a long time, and Ms. Hall did not make any threats during the entire process, so Bullock's "want to defend himself" reason is untenable.
Now facing charges, Bullock has temporarily returned home after posting $200,000 bail. How to say it, although the money was not deceived by the scammers, it was not saved at all in the end......
(Scene of the crime)
Netizens also felt very embarrassed after seeing this case:
"I understand his fear and anger, but he should have chased her away, not killed her.
What a tragedy.
The fear, confusion, and unjustified death of this lady really pains me, may she rest in peace. ”

"If your only tool is a hammer, it's easy to treat everything like a nail. Most people with guns are just waiting for an opportunity to shoot someone.
The only time I took out the pistol was at the range, and the rest of the time I locked it in the safe. I'll use it to protect my family, but I don't want to use it against a courier.
Bullock may have been framed, but his actions will keep him in prison for the rest of his life. ”

"The poor woman, how frightened and miserable she was......
My heart is with her family and friends, rest in peace!
Sadly, despite her blood on the hands of the crooks, none of them will be held accountable for the killings. ”

"My father was subjected to endless harassment by phone and offline scammers in his 80s.
He suffers from mild dementia and is also paranoid, and his condition quickly deteriorates by dealing with crooks day after day.
In order to avoid these crooks, I had to send him to a nursing home early.
It's really scary. ”

"I think the person who sent her to get the money is also guilty and should face murder charges!"
"They're the culprits!!"

It can only be said that the poor man must have something to hate,
Although Old Man Bullock deserves sympathy, he still has to take responsibility for his actions.
The most hateful thing in the whole story is actually this group of "out-of-the-way" liars, without them, Bullock and Holburn would not have to suffer so much.
Let's hope that the judiciary will find them as soon as possible and make them pay an adequate price......
