....after all, she hit him.

A Florida man is facing manslaughter charges for allegedly fatally
shooting a woman in the head after she slapped him as a joke.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said that witnesses told investigators
that 26-year-old Elliott William Orsborn, 26-year-old Jamie Lee Martin
and others had been drinking in Martin’s garage in Middleburg early
Saturday morning, according to The Florida Times-Union.

Orsborn had reportedly been playing with his .22 revolver throughout the
night, but the Sheriff’s Office said that he had taken the bullets out
earlier in the evening.

Martin’s boyfriend asked Orsborn to “just chill” after he said something
that upset her.

At some point, Martin “jokingly slapped the defendant across the face,”
the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said. Witnesses said that Orsborn took
the gun out of his shorts pocket and shot Martin in the forehead.
