A 72-year-old Marine veteran who volunteered to protect a sea turtle nest got beaten and shot in the butt for his troubles. Turtle-hater Michael Q. McAuliffe was arrested.
Victim Stan Pannaman told the Sun-Sentinel:
"After he shot me, the guy looked like he was in shock. He looked very, very surprised. He actually headed toward me and said, 'How are you? Are you OK?'
"Sir, you shot me. How could I be OK?" Pannaman replied.
