On December 21, 2010, a Pinellas County 911 dispatcher received a disturbing call. Help me, help me, they want to kill me! a man is heard frantically saying in audio obtained by Florida Man Murders,
Oxygen s new series. Hurry!
The 911 dispatcher asked him for his address but got no answer. Two gunshots are heard then the line goes dead.
Since the man contacted 911 on a cellphone, authorities didn t have an exact address and had to narrow a location down using cellphone tower information. They narrowed the location down to two streets in St. Petersburg, Florida, and authorities went door-to-door asking if residents had heard anything unusual.
Rep. Debbie Dingell, a member of House Speaker Pelosi's leadership team, singled out tweets from freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert who noted that the speaker had been evacuated from the chamber during Wednesday's riot.

Dozens of parents at Lakewood High and, to a lesser extent, Pinellas Park High, removed their children from those campuses early Monday amid unsubstantiated threats that a shooter planned to kill âat least 30 people,â all of whom would be Black.
Although the social media message that circulated late Sunday did not name a school, at least one person who circulated it wrote that the activity was âsupposed to be going on at Lakewood or Pinellas Park.â
Some Bradenton residents recognized a man photographed carrying a lectern during a riot at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday as Adam Johnson of Parrish, Florida. The lectern, which Johnson is accused of stealing after protesters forced their way onto the House floor during a joint session of Congress, was said to belong to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Here’s what we know:
Who is Adam Johnson?
An Adam C. Johnson, 36, of Parrish is registered as an active voter, according to Florida’s voter registration database. Johnson has no party affiliation.
Johnson’s Facebook page has been deactivated, but images from that page before it was taken down showed him wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat. The man pictured with Pelosi’s reading desk was wearing clothing bearing a “Trump” logo.
On Wednesday, a mob of Trump supporters, encouraged by President Trump himself, converged on the U.S. Capitol, swept past law enforcement and rampaged through the halls of Congress. The insurrection resulted in the deaths of a Capitol Police officer who was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher and a rioter who was shot by a police officer as she tried to push her way into the heavily protected Speaker’s Lobby, just outside the House.
